Sharing in Maine – An act of kindness

For those who don’t know, I grew up in Maine and this act of kindness by Sharing in Maine is amazing.

I gave away $25,784.19 worth of books in a single day!

I’m happy to announce that I was able to give away $25,784.19 worth of books on April 17th!

This exceeded my expectation by far and I’m really happy to have been able to get my book into the hands of so many people all over the world!

Also, a big thanks from me to anyone who helped make this possible. I know a number of people posted on social media, which I’m sure made a significant difference. So thank you!

Stop focusing on your failures

You won’t be successful at everything you set out to do, but practical experience provides wisdom that you can build on – whereas lack of experience does not. Everyone starts as an amateur. Stop focusing on your failures & start focusing on the progress you can make.

A lack of fanfare

At one time or another almost every creator experiences releasing something they’re excited about only to be met with little to no response. This can be demoralizing until you realize it’s normal. And you don’t have to explain it, make excuses for it, or feel bad about it.

Lifeguarding

[image error]

Every lifeguard is trained to understand that the deceptive thing about drowning is that it doesn’t look like what most people imagine. The same thing often applies to depression.

Just because a person isn’t flailing their arms in the water doesn’t mean they’re not drowning. And just because a person smiles doesn’t mean they’re not battling depression.
