Input is the only thing you can control. You have no say on what other people do, whether the stars align, and whether your plan comes together. This means if you base your self esteem on the outcome, you’re putting your happiness in the hands of something totally outside of your control. I’ve taken a real big swing over the weekend, I truly have no idea which way it’ll land, but I can say I’ve never worked harder on anything in my whole life. I’ve sent out a pitch that I’ve been building for nearly two years, through chaos and calamity, in the pursuit of a solution to the loss of canopy around the world. I haven’t heard a peep back yet, but I can always look back on this moment as the time I chose to put fear aside and press on with the mission, that’s something worth building one’s self esteem around. Stay solid team
