thoughts to avoid
- "I'm a fraud"
To some extent, self-confidence precedes success. While this has been phrased as "fake it until you make it", in reality, it's a recognition that one's attitude towards a situation can greatly influence 1) your thought process as you tackle individual challenges, and 2) the outcome of the overall situation.
- "I need to succeed all the time."
Nobody, not even the most successful people, can do this. Instead, they have to learn to deal with failures in a healthy way — by learning from them.
