3) 22 Years Ago, Steve Jobs Said 1 Thing Separates People Who Achieve From Those Who Only Dream. “I’ve never found anyone who said no or hung up the phone when I called. I just asked.

We have been socialized to feel that there is shame in asking, when often people are more than happy to help. Listen to what Steve Jobs says about this.
4) Just One Thing: Hold Wants Lightly. “We can avoid some pain, suffering, and frustration if we change the way we relate to our desires.” This article is written by renowned psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson. I have taken classes from him, and he is one of my favorite teachers.
