"Nothing is more beautiful than to know everything."

The biggest fallacy that young people fall for early in their career is that the pain you feel as a beginner eventually goes away as you earn experience The people you look up to are going through ups and downs all the time. Their mental health is often not pretty. They are making crazy sacrifices in order to run their company, or stay a relevant writer, or paint their next masterpiece. In short, they haven't figured it all out. You just don't know it because nobody talks about it publicly. I was listening to a podcast with @Basti (built Postmates, sold to Uber for $5bn) and he said that one of the biggest lies builders are told is that "the hardest part of building is earning your first dollar". Every new milestone will feel like an impossible battle at times. @AnjanKatta (@daylightco founder) came for dinner at Nautilus and talked about the idea of "giving up, not quitting" or how you need to give yourself permission to lean into stress at times and process it – because if you bottle it up, you'll end up burning out and quitting. For me, as an early-stage founder of an org, I feel relieved knowing that "I'm not broken" and that people who do hard things have similar experiences. At the same time, it's dizzying to envision a future in which the hardships are not only still there, they might be exacerbated by the weight of the responsibilities. To some extent, I know there are things that *do* get easier: experience gives you wisdom, and wisdom helps you act faster, calmer and more gracefully. But I think that the earlier you come to terms with the amount of sacrifice that goes with doing something important, and the impact this will have on you and your loved ones, the better. People on the internet try to sell you the idea that you can "have it all" and it's a lie. And actually, it's totally cool to not have it all as long as in your core, you feel good about the tradeoffs you make. Personally, I've signed up for a rich-yet-hard life the day I dropped out of high school, and 8 years later, I'm still ALL IN!!!!
