- Stop being judgmental of yourself because you, your partner or boss doesn’t have all the answers about the future.
- Stop relying on the rhetoric and hype of others in achieving your goals.
- Stop being enamored with yourself and your own achievements, instead be reflective – arrogance and the desire only to please inhibit your ability to develop new expectations.
