Alex Carmeli on why you should stop obsessing over results. Fear of looking foolish keeps most people stuck. Take consistent action anyway, detached from whether it works.
I think the, the biggest lesson that when I first learned that was the most helpful, and it's still something that every day I just tell myself when I'm doing things that are scary or tough, is just like, just be detached from the outcome. And that's really, really hard because it means that like you just have to like put your emotions to the side and just focus on taking so much action, taking so many steps that you're going to inevitably move forward because you're just the person who continues to move. And I think it means that you get past this fear of like looking stupid. And if you— I think that's another thing I say to my clients all the time is like, you should be more afraid of not having the life you want than looking stupid, or that someone will say something stupid to you. Like, it just doesn't matter. So be detached. Be more afraid not to have the thing you want than looking stupid. And eventually, if you keep moving, you're going to get where you want to be.
