THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU

227

Focusing on what happened disproportionately to what’s

happening now, or what you want to happen in the future,

is what keeps you completely stuck. If you feel as though

you truly failed yourself in some profound way, it becomes

even more crucial that you move on and create the experience

you desire now.

Your life is not over. You did not fail indefinitely, but you

will if you never let go and try again.

TALK IT OUT, BECAUSE THINGS ARE OFTEN MORE

COMPLICATED IN YOUR HEAD

If you feel really tangled up in your thoughts, feelings,

and fears, talk to someone. Perhaps a mental-health professional

or a trusted friend. If nobody is around, talk to

yourself. Talk out your ideas as though you were speaking

to someone else in front of you.

Sometimes, we need an objective third party to help us

sort through complicated parts of life. Keeping it all buried

in your head and heart often makes it worse. Letting

it out into the open tends to simplify the problem, release

the emotion, and help you move on.

TAKE YOUR TIME, BECAUSE YOU DON’T NEED TO FIGURE

EVERYTHING OUT RIGHT NOW
