If you catch yourself obsessing over your public-facing life right now, pause. There’s a difference between methodical effort and fixating on what might threaten your success. If your ego is terrified of losing, soothe it, but don’t let it run the show. No, you don’t know how it’ll all work out, and that’s the point. When you relax your grasp on your goals — whether professional ones or otherwise — you give them enough wiggle room to make their own magic.
