The one thing that changed my life forever
The one thing that changed my life forever was this: I read books, watched educational videos and listened to the words from the greatest minds of humanity, past and present. I surrounded myself with influences and ideas that were profound and insightful, and I opened myself up to them. In return, they changed me and upgraded my mindset. Each page I read and every video I finished made me a little smarter, wiser and more confident. However, it was only a fraction of what I would come to achieve… You see, there is more to self-development than just reading books and building a brain so big you can't fit through the front door. Fall in love with learning. Learn every day. If that is all you do, you will make it eventually. If you can't stop consuming, then consume better. Your information diet is just as important as your physical diet- your brain doesn't want cheap processed garbage! Once you start consuming wisely with the intention of education, you will fall down the rabbit hole of self-development. You can become addicted to growth and learning. Do this and you will find out things you never realised you could know, and develop mental spiderwebs of data so intricate that it opens up your mind to entirely different perspectives. One day, you will look back on all your learning and laugh, realising that almost none of it was even necessary for you to succeed. You already knew what you had to do. You just didn't do it! Learning is only one part of the puzzle- action is the one thing everyone trying to succeed lacks. They are always looking for how to do the thing before they start. Little do they realise, you have to start before you can truly learn. Experience is the best teacher. But most people foolishly try to learn forwards, instead of realising that it comes from reflection, which can only be done backwards. "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard --- Do The Thing And You Shall Have The Power
