There’s a healthy kind of pressure and a not-so-healthy kind we regularly put on ourselves.
The latter is the pressure to succeed, to be perfect, to over-achieve, to bite off more than one can chew, to live up to someone else’s expectations, to prove someone else wrong, to be flawless, to get the most eyeballs or to check a box.
That kind of pressure destroys people.
It kills motivation, it depletes willpower, and it puts an ugly twist on passion.
Simply put, the healthier type of pressure is about doing.
It’s about trying your best, building off past experiences, coming to terms with knowing that you can only create something as great as the information and experience you have up to this point; it’s about trying because you only fail when you don’t, it’s about proving yourself right, doing what you love, and knowing that next time will be better…and there will be a next time.
These two types of pressure feel drastically different, but we often ignore one.
