I wish I could tell my younger self this. I now know: I can do hard things. I don’t have to do all the hard things. Challenge worthwhile process or outcome = personal growth and satisfaction

Do not confuse things that are hard with things that are valuable. Many things in life are hard. Just because you are giving a great effort does not mean you are working toward a great result. Make sure that mountain is worth climbing.
