Why is looking stupid really good for us? Why is doing crazy things good for our health? Why is doing stupid things really good for our happiness? Why?

Because we are human beings. Human beings are human beings. We want to be human beings.

It is okay to do what you do, the way you do it, and stay true to why you are doing it. Do not pretend to be who you are not. That is what some people do when they don’t want to look stupid.

They want everybody to like them. They want to look perfect. They want to be the smartest people in the room.

If you are the smartest person in the room, you are not going to grow. You are not going to learn anything. And you are not going to take anything away. Above all, you are not in the right place. You are in the wrong room. If you want to grow, you must change your position.

You must be willing to look stupid. Looking stupid is the best way to learn, to know what we don’t know, to rewrite our stories.

Looking stupid is not really looking stupid. It is looking smart. When you are comfortable looking stupid, you are comfortable with failures. You are not afraid to make mistakes. You are just being you, the real you.

That is what we need if we really want to grow, if we are serious about changing the world around us.

You can do a lot of things for yourself when you are willing to look stupid, not when you are presenting who you are not.

If you want to really make a difference in your life, do not be afraid to screw things up. Do not be afraid to shake things up. And do not be afraid to live your values.

You can change anything in your life if you are not concerned about getting everything right, if you can stop worrying about being the best.

If you can just be yourself, you can do anything. The question is, ‘Will you?’

Whatever it is that you are looking for in your life, you are almost there. You are on the way to where you want to be.

You are not wasting your time. You are getting better. You are getting smarter. You are getting stronger.

Don’t give in to fear. Whatever you are doing right now, no matter how hard, no matter how lonely, stay in the game.

Do not quit on yourself. Because that is the easiest thing to do. That is what people do when they are stuck, when they are frustrated, when they are lost.

But you are not. You are not lost. You are not frustrated. You are working. You are learning. You are failing. You are still in the game.

That is what you need to do if you want to make a difference in your life. The question is, ‘Do you have the discipline to keep going, to keep working, even when nothing is happening?’

That is what you need to have. Discipline. When things are not going according to plan, your self-discipline will keep you in the game.

Growth is tough. It doesn’t happen overnight. There is no miracle when it comes to growth.

Growth happens every day. With discipline. So if you want to achieve your dreams, there is only one way to get there. The way of hard work.
