It is okay to look foolish for a day than it is to look foolish forever. Learning is not comfortable. It brings out the worst in us.
Learning is more than just collecting facts. It is not about facts. It is about life. Learning is how you live your life.
Learning is what is important to you. Learning makes you come alive. You are a learner when you question your own assumptions, when you ask yourself tough questions.
People who are willing to look foolish are learners. They are okay with who they are.
When you believe in yourself, you are willing to look foolish.
According to Dan, ‘Those willing to look foolish end up learning and thriving.’
Remember, ‘Everything is difficult until it becomes easy.’
If you want to grow, you must be willing to look stupid. If you want to thrive, you must be willing to look foolish.
The question is, ‘Are you willing to look foolish?’
If you do not want to be disappointed in your life, do not please other people. The reason is that you can never make everybody happy. There are some who will never agree with you, no matter who you are. They don’t care. And there are those who want more than you can give them.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to make them happy? Or are you going to focus on what you are doing, where you are, why you are here, and where you are going? Are you going to focus on your life? What are you going to do to make yourself happy? Remember, happiness is important to all of us. And that is why we are here.
If you are not happy with your life, with your work, do not blame it on anyone. Instead of blaming other people, why not take full responsibility for your life, for where you are, and for where you want to be? Blaming other people won’t help you get better. The only thing it can do for you is to keep you where you are. Why? It takes your eyes off your development.
You can change your life. To do that, you must surround yourself with other happy people. And you must do what other happy people are doing. Why? Because hanging out with them is not enough to chnage your life. If you want anything to change, you must get to work. You must apply yourself. Period. You must face your own life. And you must stay away from people who are toxic, people who can poison your mind.
Do not follow negative people. Do not follow people who are just drifting through life, who are not going anywhere, who are not thinking the right thoughts, who are not building their lives. If you don’t want to be like them, you must avoid them. You must make your decision to separate yourself from them. And you must take your life more seriously. If you don’t, you are not going to achieve your greatness.
If you will separate yourself from negative people, you will achieve your greatness. You will make your life a masterpiece, not a mess. You can change your life, but not overnight. To change your life, you must feed your mind with positive thoughts, learn something that has the power to help you grow, something that has the power to move you closer to where you want to be.
That is life. Life is all about going, moving, changing. If you are not growing, it means you are doing something that you shouldn’t be doing. Everything is within your reach. The more you fight for what you want, the closer you are to getting it.
Is it going to be easy? No. It is not going to be easy. But you can do it. If you don’t do it, no one is going to do it for you. Why not start now, with what you have?
