If it hurts, it’s probably true
“What’s one current struggle in your life? What’s an overwhelmingly complex problem you’re facing, something that’s complicated and where you lack clarity, an area where you feel lost and uncertain about how to proceed.
And then ask yourself: What would be a simpler truth, a simpler way of looking at this problem, but a way that I would hate?
Try to find the simple truth that hurts. If it hurts, it’s probably true.” – Steli Efti
