This one was painful when I learned it. Nobody cares. And you won't get the results you want by default. Fast forward 3-4 years with no progress. What's the story? "I didn't work because I was too tired, too embarrassed." And your friends and family will say "it's okay, don't worry, don't work too hard." That feels nice. But it doesn't change anything. You'd still be in the exact same place. That should scare you a little. It scares me. The truth is, results are the only thing that matters. I have that on a post-it note stuck to my monitor. What's the story you don't want to be telling in 3 years?
