PSYchology

If in Maximum Life you write:

“I am the owner of my own company” — you write about your future joy, and not about the joy of people.

«My mission is to create a unique direction in (medicine, psychology, physics — anywhere)», you care about your Self, not about people. People want the right, not the unique. If your unique is the most needed, that will be great, but then write about what people need, and not about what amuses your pride. Maybe your mission will be to replicate an existing direction, if this is what is important to people now.

Anyone who, according to Stanislavsky, loves not art in himself, but himself in art, is busy not with a mission, but with himself.

Similarly: “I will become one of the best and most famous specialists” — this is worthy, but here the Self is loudly heard again and on the periphery — the needs of people. If you need to become famous for a cause, become famous; if it is more useful to be unknown, you will not shine yourself. If for the purpose of your life you need to work as a specialist, then become a specialist, but if it is more important to lead the training of specialists, then this is more important. Ahead is the work, ahead is the result, not I.
