Reply to comment by TreatThompson in Ask yourself what you would do if there was no chance of failing [Discussion] by TreatThompson

Adding to this: a quote from the game Superliminal, one that resonated a lot with me and I figured was relevant enough to share.

"But, more often than not, the problem is not that the problems we face can't be solved. The problem is that we become so afraid of failure that we refuse to see our problems from a new perspective. And so we do the same thing again, and again, and again, and therein of course, we find exactly the failure we were looking for."

The beauty of a gift is that it’s given freely, and doesn’t need to be paid back.

When you see appropriate opportunities to show your gratitude, do it! But beyond that, it’s not a debt to be paid. Pay it forward and invest in someone else the way they invested in you.

Send some folks a card or email letting them know how much they impacted you, or how you’ve modeled some of your leadership after them. There are tons of people who just want to feel appreciated, seen, and their efforts acknowledged.
