i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
•getting humiliated
•showing up terrified and doing it anyway
•admitting you might be the problem
The effort you put in today may not show immediate results, but over time those small steps compound into opportunities you never imagined. Go out there and win.
You once thought life was a straight line.
Achieve A, then B, then C, and happiness would be forever.
But you are older now and you are starting to realize that you may have thought it all wrong.
There is no "forever after." There is only the joy of right now. The quiet courage of taking it one day at a time.
Life goes on. You keep going.
And if you can keep going, savoring each day, each season with new eyes and a grateful heart, life will reward you with a quiet kind of happiness that no finish line could ever give.
It’s s important to have friends you can share your goals and achievements with, without feeling like you’re bragging or in a competition, and it is more important for you to be that friend.
At some point in your 20s, you will be struck by an overwhelming sense of self doubt and uncertainty about your future and goals. It’s important that you remain calm. It will all work out
You're allowed to change your opinion if you learn something new that challenges your old opinion.
Holding to old opinions in the face of superior intelligence is not a sign of intelligence.
