investments. What some people forget is that the tax laws offer benefits to real estate investors who provide housing for employees. It also rewards investment in commercial buildings since the businesses that typically operate out of those buildings stimulate the economy. Seek out experiences in which you are not already competent. Find opportunities to test your skills and push hard enough that you fail sometimes. Learning cannot occur without failure. If you’re never failing, you’re probably not stretching yourself enough—and you may be striving for perfection instead of excellence. A growth mindset suggests you can always build your skills, get better and strive for more. If you make a mistake or fail, be sure to keep trying. This is more than just the platitude you may have heard from a parent or a teacher, it is the raw material of development. If you want to improve continuously and pursue accomplishments, feedback is key. You need to know how you’re doing, and perhaps most importantly, how you can do better. Part of being human is spotting flaws and opportunities for improvement. You need to trust yourself. It’s natural to miss an objective or fall short in a task if you’re challenging yourself. A perfectionist attitude is self-defeating. What sets those who accomplish the most apart from those who accomplish the least is whether failure inspires continued effort. Be kind to yourself and trust yourself to stretch for the next big step (Brower, 2020).
