The best advice related to this is that your thoughts are just your thoughts, and you can choose whether to give them importance. Reading some Eckhart Tolle helps here. As a founder I experience difficult thoughts all the time but they are just part of the game. Think about your core values and why you are doing what you are doing, and what you want to achieve. Make some values more important than others. Everything you do should be in support towards those values. Personally I want to build cool things and organizations that didn’t exist before, and make enough money such that I can one-up and establish egoic superiority over my neighbors, friends, and family (who hardly know anything about what I’m doing). I’m willing to push through difficult things to make this happen. I don’t want to turn this comment into a brag-fest but already reached some mild/decent success so far which gives me a lot of satisfaction.
