Here’s a collection of interesting links I’ve found around the web. The feed updates frequently, and I compile everything into a blog post on the last day of each month.

The Baseline - How to Create Long-Term Happiness
This fantastic article talks about how we’re often chasing down big goals as a form of reaching happiness, but those big highs often come with big lows right after. What if we aim to make the baseline higher instead of reaching higher highs all the time?
It kinda goes along with what I wrote about longterm goals a few months ago. Not to brag, but I think that article came out really great ;)
Why we should embrace being average
I read the Brazilian Portuguese version of this article, and it kind of goes into the same idea as the last one. It talks about how perfectionism can be harmful to one’s self-esteem and how accepting being average allows us to try more things and to live life to the fullest. Perfectionism has nothing to do with achieving success, only with avoiding doing things we’re afraid of not being good at.
