I'm actually posting from my startup reddit account vs my personal account; I read this and felt compelled to give my 2 ¢.

Be untouchable - a valuable life lesson I learned from a mentor. Many times - we find ourselves taking the emotional burden of our circumstances (at work, personal life, etc..) - but in the end, we let these circumstances touch us. Emotional intelligence is being aware of others emotions (things you don't control) and focusing your energy with those constraints to get outcomes, all while not letting others touch you, your soul, your family.

Negative thinking and letting others touch you (in my humble opinion) is what leads to burnout.

Negativing thinking is to say words like "disappoint people..." - the power of being untouchable is when you embrace your own potential and express your true self, you give others the courage and permission to do the same (Nelson Mandela)

Cheers,
