Go On, Ask for the Carrot Juice

Think of a person for whom you feel an intense admiration, someone you’ve always wanted to be more like. Maybe they devote much of their free time to an important cause, or they’re amazingly productive and fulfilled in their work, or they just seem so darn happy all—the—time.

If you actually know this person, take a deep breath and ask if you can speak to them candidly for a few minutes. Tell them how highly you regard them and ask if they have any advice to offer you. If this person is a celebrity or someone else you can only observe at a distance, spend some time searching online for any interviews they’ve done or pieces they’ve written about their background, beliefs, and motivations.

Either way, the chances are exceedingly high that this person you revere isn’t some kind of superhero who lives up to impossible standards—that the qualities you most admire in them are qualities you can cultivate in yourself.
