Build a life where one failure cannot eliminate every path.

When one thing supplies your income, your identity, your social life, and your sense of the future, its failure takes all of them at once. That concentration is easy to build without noticing and it makes an ordinary setback into a total one.

Check how much of your life runs through a single source. Then build one small thing outside it. Not as a plan to leave, just so that a failure there does not take everything with it.
