When you examine yourself and your abilities, do you believe you are capable of doing good things—things that can improve your life or the lives of others? Do you think your efforts can sustain some level of well-being?
Recognizing What's Beyond Control
Most things happening in the world were accomplished beyond your personal effort. A simple way to grasp this is to look out the window and count how many things you see that you had nothing to do with. Most of what you see in your daily life was created by other people.
Human-scale Effort
Life is made enjoyable through the efforts of countless individuals, all bound by the same human scale. Your effort is another part of the world that someone else, looking out their window, will see.
Don’t crush your will to make an effort by focusing on its scale.

Baby steps. But which way to take steps? My path is like a lightning bolt rn, it’s going all over the place. Except way slower than a lightning bolt.
