“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique.”
Conan O’Brien
Our heroes make it look so easy. Our ideals make it sound so easy. But when you try to imitate it yourself, you fall short of what you imagined.
Yet, your unique identity is revealed as a result of finding out what you are actually capable of.
Seek that complexity- seek things that don’t make sense. Shift your paradigm when your mental model doesn’t make sense.
Most people run away from complexity. But smart people run towards it.
Where your mental model doesn’t make sense is a gold mine of opportunity.
