Haha that’s what I keep hearing! Everyone says it’s grueling

I’m ready for it

Hey it’s nice to hear that!!

I haven’t yet fallen on a particular style that I’m drawn to most, I’m sure it will pop up as I keep going

Thinking about this reminded me of another quote:

"The master has failed more times than the beginner has tried"—Stephen McCranie

LOOL love it 😂 throw back

That’s definitely a good point! The chance of failure creates the tension that makes those types of excursions so fun

At least you know that’s something you’d like to accomplish if you could be successful at it 😄

Underrated answer

In some sense yeah it does!

In another sense standing on the shoulders of giants is more exciting because we get to blaze new trails that they couldn’t blaze. Progress is made by building off the backs of what others did

We get to pick up the mantle and take it further, rather than running the same race they did.

So by doing it alone and ignoring the giants we just do what they did already, which sounds a little boring

Hope that makes sense 😅 it’s definitely open to interpretation—I don’t think there’s a one size fits all advice for anything

😂 simple as that

That’s a question I think about a lot

Dedicating your life to doing good is a switch that usually flips later in life. I wonder if it’s because later in life we’re more financially secure or we’re wise enough to realize that that’s what matters

Either way this has me thinking right now!

Thanks for sharing 🙌

It makes me think of this quote:

"Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will."—Suzy Kassem

It shows how powerful the fear of failure is.

It also shows that many people don’t get as far as failure killing their dream. They stop at the fear of failure. They give up before they even start. They kill their idea without giving it a fighting chance.

That is very well said!

We never know the true impact of something—the butterfly effect can show itself years later

Haha I love that

Sums up what I was trying to say perfectly! 😄

That’s a great concept

I subscribe with that too

I forget who said it, but I read in life we can float with the tide or try to force ourselves down a path

I definitely choose to float with the tide when it comes to what direction I go towards

Thanks for sharing!

I definitely can get into overthinking bouts too

Glad this clicked with you! 😄

That quote is just too perfect

Nothing more really needs to be said than that 🙌

I always think about this quote when it comes to this

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."—Chinese Proverb

If I wanted the success today the best time to start would've been years ago. But since I didn't, the second-best time is now.

James Clear has a quote that aligns with this

“If you're not working hard, ideas don’t matter. The best idea is worthless without execution. If you're already working hard, ideas are crucial. Most effort is wasted on mediocre ideas.”

If you’re not in motion and taking action then your ideas are irrelevant. Ideas only have value when they are brought to real life.

Damn that’s really touching

My dog is getting up there in age and I already feel some of those regrets

Wish I cherished the most common moments more

I definitely do nowadays. Thanks for sharing that 🙌

Wow that’s really well said—I feel every part of that

Thanks for sharing 🙌

That’s exactly how I see it!

I can for sure understand the idea being felt with anxiety and sadness, but for me it’s a healthy reminder!

Yeah that definitely makes sense! I see that😅

Hey I’m sorry to hear it didn’t click with you the way I intended!

For me it’s a serious reminder to not take things for granted, but I get there is no such thing as advice that works for everyone

Hope it didn’t bum you out too bad, but I’m glad you still understood the core value of what I was trying to say

I appreciate you letting me know 😄

That’s a good point! Stressing about making sure everything goes good can definitely be a bad mindset

I more try to remind myself not to take things granted

Thanks for sharing that😄

Personally it helps me make the most out of finite things

If I think from a standpoint of abundance it’s so easy for me to be wasteful and take it for granted

I don’t wanna spend my summers indoors if I think about how I barely have any days of summer left

Hope that makes sense! Definitely not a one size fits all approach, but it helps me 😄

Hahah never heard it put like that before but I love it!

Glad it resonated with you 😄 thanks for letting me know
