Last week, we asked you to tell us how you were feeling. We asked for honest answers and you guys overwhelmed us with your responses. 

“Great” was the most commonly used word but this doesn’t capture that people often used to say that they were not feeling that great. Online we tend to put our best face forward. We want to remind you that it’s okay to be honest. It’s okay if you’re not great. Chances are, you’re not alone.

“I’m trying to come back to work after a period of depression. I’ve battled it off-and-on my whole life, but two years ago the wheels just completely came off. I’d just had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with my friends, and I went to sleep in a good mood, but then the next day I couldn’t get out of bed. I was still in bed four days later when my boss started calling. The next two years were a battle. I lost my job. I was hospitalized three times. I filled a giant binder with information about depression, where to find programs, and how to appeal your insurance company. I felt like I was fighting for my life. I’d call a hospital that specialized in a certain type of therapy, and they’d tell me they didn’t take my insurance. I’d say: ‘Please help me. I’m dying.’”

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.
