We grow, learn, and develop by moving through adversity, not running from it. Keep moving and push through the chaos. Be the calm in the storm.

The less you use things, the more your body and mind will discard them. It's got enough to deal with, so it'll dump the things you don't use to make more room for the things you do. But you can get that back by using it again and relearning the skills.

If you hold high standards for yourself, then you are doing a disservice to others if you don't hold them to a high standard as well.

It's very easy to fool yourself into thinking either you're better or worse than you think. That you're more or less intelligent than you really are. It's just simple conditioning. Your opinion and ideas are graded and decided on by some "authority" who might not believe you. Or maybe you were constantly catered to by someone that didn't want to hurt your feelings. Either way, don't continue the path. Question, investigate, and decide independent of others.

This doesn't mean you should idolize yourself nor seek the opinion of others. It does mean that you need to be selective and not allow your made up notion of what you think their opinion might be to stop you from even trying.

Plato had a few interesting things to say 😂. This one is spot on. Fools need to talk to feel relevant. The wise talk to inform when necessary. Which one are you?

If you truly want the thing, you need to put in the work to be the person that deserves to be that thing.

The funny part about the good old days people talk about is they complained about them being terrible at that time, too. Don't get stuck in the past. Enjoy your present and look forward to whatever the future holds.

If you're not willing to stick l suck at it first, you'll never get good at it second.

I'm not a preacher, but I'm not opposed to sharing wisdom from the Bible in learning that applies universally. This is just great for life in general, regardless of your religious beliefs. When you refuse to accept instruction when needed and believe you are always the smartest person in the room, you will quickly find yourself alone in that room.
