Facing criticism as a multipotentialite
Hi guys! I'm back with my analysis of the book "How to be everything". For more information, check out the below posts:
Facing internal cristicism as a multipotentialite
_____________________________
Being a multipotentialite, you will be facing with a lot of criticism, including (and most importantly) that of your inner voice. These include feeling ashamed and guilty for not being a specialist, as you're a generalist in a specialist world. You feel discomfort as you're always a beginner and have imposter syndrome
These are some points to keep in mind when you are feeling down due to your multifaceted interests and multipotentialite personality.
  • Shifts in interests are part of your personality
  • Letting go of one interest frees you for the next
  • Your identity is not tied to what you do
  • Being bad at something is the first step at being good at it
  • Keep track of small wins
  • Keep moving forward
  • Focus on being effective, not the best
  • Stop comparing yourself to specialists
  • Your skills are in being a multipotentialite
  • Feeling like a fraud is common when pursuing meaningful ends!!!!
  • Focus on your work, not others perspectives
Facing external criticism
___________________________
Know that what other people think shouldn't influence the way you go about your life. Never let other people's perspectives influence you or put you down. Have a strategy for the inevitable person who belittles your choices and show confidence.
Aaaaaand that concludes this series! I hope you guys took something valuable away from this series. Please comment if there are books you do want me to do in the future. Adios
