Don’t try, just be
I think it could be said that one of the biggest things that holds us back is that we try to hard to be a specific type of way or create a certain kind of thing. Often our efforts go into emulating what we have already seen done and the way that we think or … Continue reading Don’t try, just be

How to get better at receiving feedback?
Getting feedback can be terrifying. Even if you have confidence in what you do the last thing you want is for someone else to come along and tell you that actually what you're doing isn't as good as you think it is.

It's not a bad thing to be able to admit it, infact I think it's good to be able to pick up on these habits if you have them. A common example of where this occurs is the … Continue reading In need of a push

The familiarity of what you know might be the thing that keeps you from exploring other ideas or options. Let's take the example of food. Imagine you go to a restaurant and order the duck. Now imagine the duck is incredibly delicious and so each time you go back, you order the same thing. You … Continue reading Sticking with what you know

Finding it difficult in the beginning might even cause you … Continue reading Difficult in the beginning
