I was going to write a Substack this week detailing the trials and tribulations of our second drop, and how many things went wrong and how tough it is to be an entrepreneur. I don't want to sugarcoat shit and make it look like everything is going swimmingly at all times because that's just not the reality.
As I was going through my Notes app to find my list of every little issue we had (so we don’t repeat them), I also found my good things list, and boy, did that change the trajectory of this piece and my day.
It’s exactly what it sounds like. A little list of all the goddamn amazing things that happen to you every month.
I share one with my sister so that we can stay accountable and hype each other up. The good things can be as small or as big as your little heart desires. You made the perfect grilled cheese for your 7-year-old and he asked for seconds? Good thing! You faced your fear of sharks? Good thing! You signed a big contract? Good thing! You felt exceptionally happy one day? GOOD THING!
Guess what? The more you look for them, the more you find them. All of a sudden, those stressful moments don’t seem so all-consuming anymore. Hell, maybe they even become good things because of what they taught you.
It’s truly incredible how a tiny little practice like this can change your entire life.
Go start your list right this second. Tell me the good things that have happened to you lately. Your good things are my good things!!!
