As a follow up to yesterday about taking it seriously…
Take it seriously but don’t take it personally. And it’s easy to forget that. And it’s easy to want to take it personally and tie it to identity. You’re working so hard, taking it so seriously that the work is all there is to take personally too. What else is there to take personally if not for the serious work?
Keep it easy. You are much more than the good work you take so seriously.
You’re allowed to do great work. You’re allowed to not be defined solely by your work. You’re allowed to drop your shoulders and breathe and understand that while you play an essential role, the world will keep spinning even if you take few minutes off to laugh at the bad reviews.
