Pause and think about why exactly you made that choice.

The observations are very insightful! :)

Than it is to appreciate.. but that would be missing the point.. there is always scope for improvement.. but that’s not the point.. the point is to appreciate the beauty - and you can always find it if you look hard enough - of the current state. To enjoy this beauty. Then, you can go about improving it.. not because you don’t you don’t like the current state.. but because you love what you see in it and want to make it so much better.

Practice what you preach.. but preaching what you practice may not always be a good idea.. even if you are convinced your practice is a sound one..

Anything you might face, all your concerns, your wants are insignificant - if you broaden your view sufficiently. You are then left in a state of satisfied bliss :)

Be happy, because there is nothing to worry about.

The first will impact the impression of your capability but the second will affect the impression of your integrity.

Over-promising can be a good way to start things off, but if promises are not kept, regardless of what you deliver, you will not be able to sustain. People will not come back to you.

So, promise less - and outdo that promise. Slow and steady wins the race :)

The slim chance that it might actually work out against all odds.. The sliver of hope.. It drives us to do great things.. things that would be considered “imposssible”.

Never lose hope. There is always a chance.. It is a probabilistic universe.  :)
