What to do when you get triggered
I used to hate the feeling that emerged whenever I was triggered. If I read an email that didn’t sit right with me, had an interaction with a co-worker that had me spinning, or an argument with my partner that went south, I would run from the feelings of shame, rejection, or anger and blame the person who triggered me for my feelings.
Back to the future
When setting a new goal, most of us will look to our past for evidence to see if we can accomplish it.

When setting an impossible goal, whether that’s to make 1 million dollars in your business, to lose 50 pounds, or climb El Capitan, you must be willing to fail your way there. You are not going to fail in the taking of the action, but you might fail in the result you want to create.

Towards the end of the talk, the organizer asked me to teach them something that I wished I would have known when I was a teenager. The one thing I taught them was that you can believe whatever you want to believe about yourself.
