Via Seth:


Who are you trying to please?

What are you promising?

How much money are you trying to make?

How much freedom are you willing to trade for opportunity?

What are you trying to change?

What do you want people to say about you?

Which people?

Do we care about you?

(and after each answer, ask 'why?')

But, as the video reminds us, everyone makes mistakes, everyone fails -- it's what you do after that counts.
