The final stage of healing is becoming a fucking weirdo again. Where youโre so powerful and so free inside yourself you just donโt give a shit. Itโs all art. Itโs all life. Itโs all beautiful. Thatโs the fucking point.
pick a degree you donโt want to cheat. choose a city you don't want to flee. work a job you donโt want to quit. marry a person you donโt want to change. live a life you donโt want to escape.
i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
โข getting humiliated
โข showing up terrified and doing it anyway
โข admitting you might be the problem
@isaacturnersong Till death nothing is over, you can always fail and start over. Fear of failure will hold you back, once you free yourself from this fear, you can fail and start over again and again and eventually you will winโฆ
Had a wealthy friend tell me that the ability to decrease time to any outcome is the one skill behind every successful person he knows.
A few I apply constantly:
- Decreasing the time it takes you to get out of a bad state will make you emotionally resilient
- Decreasing the time it takes you to go from idea to executive will make you wealthy
- Decreasing the time it takes you to turn a failure into a lesson will thicken your skin faster than anything else
