« A joke should never end with ''I’m joking'' » once said Mike Birbiglia. A perfect example happened recently on Twitch. Are your intentions about having fun with the person you’re joking with or making fun of this person?

The fear of failure hits each and everyone of us. The most fearless of us are not crazy, they simply built their ability to do and repeat. As James Clear says: « When you realize you can influence the outcome, you are less worried about failure ». Hesitant or in doubt? Just do it and accept to learn and grow. Stuck, lost or unsatisfied? Identify the root problem and ask yourself what initial action needs to be taken to move on. In a nutshell, put yourself in motion.
Paul Ferrini’s 2013 words have never resonated so well with what we are currently living. If 2020 has taught us something it would be to consider the relationship we have with ourselves.

Being a leader is about accepting that you’re not the center of attention. You can’t be a leader without a group of people or a team.

As human beings, we often struggle to find balance. Even when we thrive for « good » there are pitfalls coming along the way. Too much positive thoughts and you can fall into denial, too much sport and you can hurt yourself, too much passion and you can loose yourself, ... Like Dan Shipper says it, too much of a « good » thing becomes a bad thing pretty quickly. Stress is one of them and the key might be to see it as a tool.
