The three core values I'm living by at the moment are patience, humility and hope. I think once you integrate these values fully into your life, you'll receive big rewards in terms of well-being. Your fear of success will decrease and your ability to achieve long term goals easier. Especially if you're very patient and calm about things, you can take more short-term blows and focus on the long term. One of the biggest mistakes is to live a life of instant gratification, or thinking that you won't ever have to sacrifice anything to achieve success. Another good rule of thumb is to increase your dedication while decreasing your expectations. Work harder but expect less. This way you decrease the risk of dissapointment and giving up.
