It’s ok - it eventually gets better - unless I am just failing massively and no one is telling me and I am doing a terrible job and oh god oh god.

Thank you for sharing this quote and your personal struggles.

With new things, expect to start really rough. It’s normal. Expect to give bad results for a while. It’s normal. You may not see others going through it. That’s because people tend to share their successes more. Behind all success is a lot of struggling.

Failure, mistakes, struggles, ugliness are a part of learning. The more you mess up early on, the more you will learn. What’s a better time to do poorly than in the beginning? No other time! Make all the “bad” things. Keep them to look back and reflect on your progress.

You are trying new things. You are learning. You are growing. Isn’t that beautiful?

Think of how wildfires encourage healthier regrowth. So so beautiful.

Keep trying. You are amazing.

Hold my beer. That’s what I say.

You're just a low self esteemed narcissist person, you can do this!

So tired of the “This” stuff

Taco night!?!?!

Gotta right size that shit!

And then WW3 began

I think maybe even a billion

Relief finally came when I stopped blaming myself and started blaming other people 😤

But the method of change depends on if it's one, the other, or both.

Going to space was so awesome. Doing things humanity has never done before opened up so many things and gave us so many technologies, it changed society. Space exploration is the ultimate pushing of the envelope.

So do I relax and try to give people around me a sense of stability and comfort? Or do I put in extra work to make sure that I create work for everyone?

Those actions have opposite vectors and if I do one thing when the other is needed, I’m gonna be burning some bridges.

Either way, work is miserable and I don’t like it

Yeah, but change it in what way/which direction?

Come on, meme. Make sense, lol.

Yo I go through this thought process every hour of my work life

Forgot Luck. Success is hugely dependent on luck
