Topics Covered:
- Being Curious - How you can keep asking “Why?” to better understand the truth behind why things are a certain way, and not accepting what you hear at face value.
- The Value of Experiences - When things don’t go how you expect, at least you have the story and lessons from it.
- Exploring Fear - Commit to overcoming small fears over and over again in order to cultivate self-confidence and belief.
- The Nature of Doubts - No matter who you are, when you do something differently people are going to disagree and question you because they aren’t comfortable with it.
Highlight Quotes:
- “With all of your experiences you gain strength.”
- “Sometimes you have a goal that’s scary, and you don’t get there, or you fail, but you stop somewhere else along the way.”
- “You have to think for yourself. Everyone else’s opinion and path is their own thing. Find your own thing.”
- “Being undaunted means continuing to move forward and live that way. If you find yourself paralyzed then you have to figure out how you do move forward.”
