There’s been enough global discussion of the ‘fear of missing out’. You understand what it means and why it is that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. What are you going to do about it?
Are you going to talk to others about these ideas, (Maria’s above, Oliver’s being referenced, mine)? Are you going to work to be the change you want to see in the world?
…AND WHEN YOU FAIL, what are you going to do then?
