Being motivated and curious counts for more than being smart because it leads to action. - James Clear

A critical quality to develop in life is the willingness to try. You simply must find enough confidence to give it a go. The human mind is fabulous at learning. You will get better at whatever you practice. But before you can develop the skill to succeed, you must find the courage to attempt.

Pause and try this simple practice from Thich Nhat Hanh:

“Breathe in, and close your eyes.

Breathe out, and smile.”

Many frustrations are the result of unspoken expectations. Before you get too annoyed, make sure you are clearly expressing your thoughts.
