Final message
The world is scared, bad at communicating, and short on vision. If you can find courage and perseverance, you have a superpower.
Don’t give up, and don’t lose sight of what you want most.
Get in the arena, stay in the arena, stay in the work.

Whose advice to skip
- Anyone pretending to help who is really just trying to sell you something.
- Anyone who tells you you aren’t enough unless you hustle, grind and get rich.
Generally, if you wouldn’t want to trade lives with someone, be cautious with their advice. Someone might have a career you don’t want but be a great spouse or strong spiritually. Take their marriage advice. Listen to their thoughts on God. Skip their career advice.
