Don’t Stop Getting Better at Things

The way you did things in high school is usually not the way you do them now.

So why are you still reading the same way? Writing, speaking, calculating, engaging?

Imagine managing money now the way you did then. Or approaching relationships as you did then.

Skills are what open opportunities. They are what make hard things seamless. They turn bottlenecks into flow.

What the application of talent teaches you barely begins upon graduation. At that point you have only a sterilized version of what is possible.

Skill is not ultimately about performing, it’s about learning how nature works. It’s about reaching into a thing’s true potential to comprehend how the universe is patterned.

Why tell nature you’re done when she has so much more to tell you? Most have no idea.

Getting better, at anything, is the only path to contentment. It is the only path to meaning.

Get better. Way better.

You were meant to breach the impossible, because your possible was told to you by those who were wrong.
