I also fell into many pits when I was growing up, but even if I did, my first thought was what I did wrong, not whether I fell into the pit.
I don't have the courage to deny many authoritative theories and methods, even after my personal test is invalid, to think about whether I did something wrong, not that the theory itself is not applicable to me. However, I found that many cattle people are another kind of people, who do methodology for their own use, rather than being controlled by methodology.
For example:
"When reading a book, only implement the most important points. If you can't remember it, let it go!" I used to feel guilty if I didn't finish reading a book or remember everything in it, and then this sense of self-blame accumulated.
"Growth is not how much you have accomplished, nor whether you have adhered to your plan, but whether you have really gained something. I often worry about whether I screwed up, instead of looking back at my growth as a big pit. The starting point should not be action, but should be to make yourself better. "
This standard made me overcome my impatience at once. We are in urgent need of growth, so we often paralyze ourselves with external achievements, such as how many books I read this year and how many articles I wrote this week. However, even if these amounts are beautiful, they have not brought you substantial benefits! Only do what is really useful to you!
Therefore, I resolutely delete the methodology of "doing my best", which is regarded as the truth by countless people and myself, from my operating system.
There is no limit to my efforts, so I can never do my best, and once I fail to meet this standard, I will think that I don't deserve better results. How painful I used to be!
Never "try your best" to ask yourself, but use concrete and achievable goals instead.
Let methodology be used by oneself, not controlled by methodology.
