IMO this can be mitigated by finding people who support and encourage you through your failures, and by managing your psychology, which IME is done substantially via storytelling. ideally “full-stack” storytelling https://t.co/uDEt9YUlOd
eg of what it’s like to manage your own psychology, which is The Hard Thing about doing anything. it’s about how/why you eat the pain https://t.co/AmYS4Was2z
2 things the rock does to manage his psychology: 1. remember what it was like when he started with nothing 2. ask himself “how bad of a motherfucker do you think you are” there’s some interesting nuance here too if you know what to look for https://t.co/RyqjuhTovk
@strangestloop So not just a bunch of words in your head (good start), but manifest in successive outward layers in your life. talismans (meaningful objects), environment, relationships, everything. rearrange & reconstitute your life to tell your story

Just realized I could remix Steve’s quote about design and make it about ambition. In most people’s vocabularies, ambition means prestige. It’s accolades. It’s cars and money. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of ambition. https://t.co/4GYBX5eZgK
