"i’ve always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there’s only a slightest chance." - Michael Schumacher.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Michael Schumacher is no longer bedridden. He can now move around in a wheelchair with the assistance of a nurse and a therapist.

In 2013, Schumacher suffered a severe traumatic brain injury while skiing. For a long time, he was confined to bed and connected to a ventilator.

@XDevelopers @elonmusk i think it would be great if we could use x chat rather than telegram or discord

[VV @ofwudan]

@BreakTheCurse7 more people probably should

[VV @ofwudan]

people act like you become this fixed person at some point and that’s just who you are forever.

i don’t really buy that.

people change all the time. you can pick up new habits, think differently, completely shift how you carry yourself. even way later in life.

half the stuff people call 'just who I am' is probably more changeable than they think.

[VV @ofwudan]

i think people get themselves into trouble trying too hard to be this perfectly good, polished version of themselves all the time.

like, you’ve still got ego, anger, selfishness, all that stuff. everyone does.

and weirdly, things make a lot more sense once you stop pretending you’re above any of it.

[VV @ofwudan]

@tcwpractice that’s usually how it goes

[VV @ofwudan]

people care way less about how it looked than you think.

everyone is trying to keep it clean, stay composed, not look stupid while they figure things out.

but if you’re actually doing something properly, it’s usually a bit messy at some point.

and honestly, if it works in the end, nobody really cares how awkward it looked while you were getting there.

[VV @ofwudan]

@aestheticsdz yh people can tell when it’s too polished

[VV @ofwudan]

@WarSageX banger

[VV @ofwudan]

@aestheticsdz that’s usually what it looks like

[VV @ofwudan]

most of the time it’s not that complicated.

you know what you should probably be doing. you just don’t feel like doing it right now.

so you tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow, or when you’ve got more time, or when you’re in the right headspace.

but that moment never really shows up.

it’s usually just that first bit you keep putting off.

and nothing really changes until you stop doing that.

[VV @ofwudan]

@sidrelll yeah they do feel it before they think about it

[VV @ofwudan]

people move toward people who seem solid.

like, if you always seem unsure or all over the place, people feel it pretty quickly.

not even in a harsh way. that’s just how it is.

the people who seem like they can handle things, stay calm, keep moving, people trust that.

that matters more than people like to admit.

[VV @ofwudan]

@sidrelll you just figure it out by doing it

[VV @ofwudan]

feels like people think they’ve gotta become this whole different person to get where they wanna go.

like it’s somewhere way out there.

but half the time you go off, try a bunch of stuff, go in circles a bit and you kinda just end up back where you started, just seeing it differently.

and that’s sort of it. you’re not really becoming someone else, just figuring out what was already there.

[VV @ofwudan]

@OptiMindInsight stay on that track

[VV @ofwudan]

@WarSageX fire

[VV @ofwudan]

@WarSageX yeah pretty much

[VV @ofwudan]

waiting for the right time doesn’t really work anymore.

everyone’s kinda doing that. waiting till things line up, feel right. so nothing really stands out.

the people who actually get somewhere just, go. even if it’s a bit off, or the timing’s not great.

if anything, that’s kinda the point. doing it when it’s not perfect, that’s what makes it land.

otherwise you’re just doing it with everyone else and it sort of fades into the background.

[VV @ofwudan]

@OptiMindInsight that's it

[VV @ofwudan]

most people get close that’s not the hard part. it’s that last bit. when you’re basically there, but you’re tired of it, a bit over it, and it just feels heavier than it should.

that’s where people stop. and yeah if it’s not finished, it kinda doesn’t count. that last stretch is the whole thing.

[VV @ofwudan]

@axelsylvian you just do it before you’re ready
