If you’re one of those rare individuals who feel the need to constantly throw yourself into various fires and build a stronger player— you should know something.
There is no self improvement practice, at least, not the ones where you do random habits or read a specific amount of books– and somehow unlock phoenix mode? No.
That’s not actually real.
Maybe it helps, but not in the ways you’d like.
Ironically, I’ve developed the most personally while maintaining the least habits, and while nearly reading next to nothing new.
Morning routine is essentially the gym and casually writing these posts. Reading is random, I do it when I feel like it. Diet, it’s just okay–
And yet I’m learning far more about my strengths and weaknesses and developing my character, how?
Through my work.
That’s the answer for all of us. Work develops us. Now, the catch is there has to be some connection to who you are. In my field, there certainly is.
But when I tried to deliberately improve, I oddly became more neurotic and isolated. When I embraced my craft and leaned into what I was doing, I started seeing results. The other day I wondered how I’d convey this idea to my younger self if given the chance…. and I don’t think I ever could.
That idiot was just too big headed.
You have to bump your head until the headache makes you stop.
Embracing your life is the answer. I treat my career like I wish I’d have went through my youth and school. Nothing matters, so play. Quit resisting everything, these little moments are what you’ll look back on in the end.
Improving is human nature.
It will fulfill you, give you more confidence, and make life far more engaging and interesting. But to do it, you have to shift your attitude towards the game.
What are you playing for?
Til next time, #FOOLFWD
