Everything is Figureoutable
von Marie Forleo
You’re not living it. Knowing something intellectually is very different from doing something consistently, mastering it, and benefiting from it. Be humble. To be clear, taking responsibility doesn’t mean staying silent about injustice. It doesn’t mean blaming or shaming yourself. It doesn’t mean beating yourself up or living with constant guilt. Instead, taking 100 percent responsibility for your life means recognizing that you’re in charge of deciding how you feel and who you wish to be in response to what happens now and in the future.

To be clear, taking responsibility doesn’t mean staying silent about injustice. It doesn’t mean blaming or shaming yourself. It doesn’t mean beating yourself up or living with constant guilt. Instead, taking 100 percent responsibility for your life means recognizing that you’re in charge of deciding how you feel and who you wish to be in response to what happens now and in the future.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those with reasons and those with results.
The best way to break a compulsive email-checking habit is to set up your environment to support you. That means removing visual and audio email temptations completely. If possible, delete the email app from your phone. If you’re unwilling, take your email app off the home screen of your smartphone and move it to at least the fourth or fifth screen.
Beliefs create behaviors. The cumulation of those behaviors adds up to your entire life. Know what else? Every belief has a consequence. Your beliefs either heal you or harm you. They either support your aspirations or thwart them. Belief becomes the source of your limitation or your liberation. It doesn’t matter what’s true, it matters what you believe.

"Perfection Progress I have only one shot at this. If I fail/lose/get rejected, it means I suck and I should quit. I’ll take as many shots as I can. I’ll learn from every attempt. I’ll get stronger and better. It’s either ALL or NOTHING. If I can’t get everything I want now, what’s the point? I’ll start small and simple now, then iterate and evolve over time. Failure is unacceptable. I’m a failure. Always have been, always will be. I always fail at everything. This will CRUSH me. If I fail, I’m done. I can’t go on. Failure is inevitable. My attempt may fail, but I’m not a failure. Failure isn’t permanent or personal. Failure is an event, not a characteristic. Ugh. Why is she so much more successful than me? I’m smarter, more genuine. OR, I’ll never be that good. She’s so damn inspiring. I really connect with her vibe. If she can do it, so can I. This has to happen immediately. ASAP! Give me a shortcut/hack/formula. I need this to be easy. I can’t handle challenges. I’ll fail. I’m in this for the long"
"Why is that? How does your brain decide what to let in and what to disregard? Part of the answer lies in a complex neural network called the reticular activating system (RAS). Among other crucial functions, your RAS acts as an attention filter. It automatically sifts and sorts incoming data, filtering out what’s unimportant from your conscious awareness and allowing through only what is important. Your RAS is the reason you can often tune out the din of a noisy café but instantly snap to if you hear someone call your name. It’s the reason you never noticed or cared about “dry brushing” until a friend said it was THE thing that transformed her skin. All of a sudden, tips, articles, and conversations about dry brushing appear and occur nonstop."
"Feeling lost, not where you should be by now, and off track. You have recurring thoughts like, Is this all there is? Am I really doing what I’m supposed to be doing in life? Struggling to prioritize or schedule your time because you don’t know what’s most important or how to navigate competing opportunities. Failing to produce meaningful results, despite always being “super busy.” You confuse activity with accomplishment: I’m running myself ragged, but I have nothing substantial to show for it. Teetering on the edge of burnout. You’re exhausted and irritated, and you fantasize about running away and never looking back."
- →You never get stronger if you only do easy things.
- →Think about the word “FAIL” like this: it’s a faithful attempt in learning. That’s it. A faithful attempt in learning. It’s nothing to fear and nothing to avoid. From this perspective, failure is not a glitch in your figureoutable journey, it’s a must-have feature. As cliché as it sounds, you can only truly fail if you stop learning and growing.
- →Just imagine how much we would have missed out on if any of those brilliant beings stopped at the thought that their contribution was unnecessary because it had already been done. As Fred Rogers said, “If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never dream of.”
- →Rule 2. If a problem is not figureoutable, it’s not really a problem—it’s a fact of life or law of nature (e.g., death or gravity). Rule 3. You may not care enough to figure this problem out or achieve this particular dream. That’s okay. Find another problem or dream that ignites a blazing fire in your heart and go back to Rule 1.
