There are some interesting observations here, but the piece basically ends up in the same place all self-help content ends up: here are the <i>x</i> things you should do.<p>> Instead of just watching, reading, listening to other people doing fancy stuff. We need to get going. Overcome the general feeling of malaise by start running, failing, getting up, and trying again.<p>This is basically the same advice that a lot of self-help gurus give. The only difference is in the packaging.<p>Here's a tangential piece of advice about listening to "successful people online": not everything is as it appears. In fact, much of the time these days, it isn't. Never forget that you have no way of knowing whether people are as happy, rich, etc. as they say they are, and even if they are, you have no way of knowing whether or not the advice they're selling you is how they got to where they are.
