2. Have a quest; a big goal that will take years or decades to achieve. Don’t just say you want to learn to play piano, aim to be one of the greatest composers of the modern age whose work inspires and brings joy to others. As one example.
3. Don’t worry about things out of your control. Your father hitting you as a child sucks, but it was out of your control. Getting dumped by your girlfriend sucks, but again, out of your control. Focus only on things within your control. Things that can lead to you completing your quest.
