Part 4: Change Perspective

1. Assume You’re Below Average

• Listen more. Ask a lot of questions.
• Admit you’re still learning. Focus on what you need to improve, not your past accomplishments.

Think of yourself as a student, and your current actions as just practice.

2. Everything is Your Fault

• You are the person who made things happen, made a mistake, and can learn from it.
• You are in control and there’s nothing to complain about.

Think of every bad thing that happened to you, and imagine that you happened to it.

3. Love Being Wrong

• When you’re wrong is when you learn.
• When you’re lost is where you go somewhere unexpected.

If we’re not surprised, we’re not learning.

4. What Are The Odds Of That?

• Everything is a coincidence.
• Life feels more amazing if it has no meaning. Beautifully random.
