Your past selves
You don’t know your past selves. The older you get, the more you think you understand yourself as a younger person. You have probably forgotten how you were influenced then and might still have the same values.
For instance, you might think that a priority as a child was to fit it. But, if really looking at your diary, you discover that you valued independence back then the same you do now.

Going Out Of Your Element Is Inevitable And Necessary
Many people are fearful of getting out of their element a lot of the time.
While it can be uncomfortable and painful to break from an established routine, it can shape you in ways avoiding change does not.
Nothing Big Has To Happen For It To Be Significant
Kiki's Delivery Service is an example of a story where there are not many moments of extreme action, but there is still a significant story being told - one of finding people who inspire or help during a personal crisis.
As with Kiki, we can only be so lucky to find people that provide roles and teach the lessons that Kiki has learned.

Stop Spending So Much Time In Your Head
William James
Choosing your thoughts
Pragmatism believes that the mind is a tool. You have the ability to decide what you think. Or, you can choose NOT to think. And that is one of the most important and most practical things you can learn in life.
Useful Thoughts:
- Thinking about how you can solve problems. A problem is just an unanswered question. Put your brain to use and think about how you can solve problems.
- Understanding knowledge. Try to internalize knowledge and think about how you can use that knowledge to improve your life, career, work, relationships, etc.

What you really wish to do
Choosing one path means missing another.
When you feel FOMO coming on, ask yourself if the trigger is really something you wish you were doing yourself, or if the sudden recollection of the great number of choices in life has simply brought on a moment of insecurity about your own.
If it’s the latter, taking a moment to reaffirm your decision is all it takes to chase the FOMO away.
The need for a change
Keep in mind that your FOMO trigger may not relate directly to something you wish you were doing yourself, but can instead point more broadly to something you want to change about your life.
Examine the source of your FOMO before dismissing it; there may be a good reason you feel insecure about your decisions.
