When designing something valuable, one might come across some idea that sounds very exciting. We are so enticed by it that we get into too much of a perfectionist mindset. It is important to identify what is necessary and what is not. If you have a fixed appetite to stick to, the priority is shipping the idea. Extra iterations come next. No doubt it might look good with that, but is it a nice-to-have or actually a necessity?

Get out of your head! Get out of your comfort zone! Get out of your own rot! You are the only one standing in your own way. Get out and meet, explore and live every moment.

Growth is uncomfortable because you have never been here before. Growth equals change. But don’t fall back into your old patterns just because they are familiar. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Let your faith in the journey be stronger than your doubts and fears. Great things never come from comfort zones.

Instead of saying “I have to do this!” Say, “I get to do this!” Your work matters. Your consistency matters. Your presence matters. Your ideas matter. There are so many people just waiting for you to open up and voice your opinions. The world needs the magic that is inside you.

Be conscious of what you are consuming, whether it’s visual entertainment, reading a book, or having a snack. Your diet is everything you watch, listen to, people you hang out with, and conversations you have. Surround yourself with an environment that pushes you further. Reach out to people who you feel will help you take initiative and seek constructive feedback. Set clear boundaries and be kind to yourself.
