Feeling stuck at the ledge? Try this. — This read isn’t for everyone. This is for those who know they are on the cusp of something exciting but they’re holding back because they know they are liable to set the roof on fire (figuratively, hopefully).

I am guilty of having been in the club of young men in their early 20s looking for outside validation on how to be their optimal selves. As someone who felt vastly…
