One would think that as smart as we are ... as educated, learned, advanced, and evolved ... that we wouldn’t need simple reminders.

But we do.

Our minds are filled with concepts, formulas, and facts, yet we so easily forget the simple things:

• You are valuable.

• Your contribution is important.

• You have choices.

• Failure is not permanent.

• There are people who love you.

This isn’t fluff. It’s as relevant as anything else you’ve highlighted, pinned, or bookmarked.

After you’ve reminded yourself of these things, it’s a good idea to remind someone else who may have forgotten too.
