Where do you get scored

But be careful where and how you look for validation.
Achieving something impressive(to strangers) may require 10x effort to earn similar recognition from friends and family,
There’s a level of familiarity your friends and family have, a “see-finish”
It clouds their judgement of your true potential.
Hear what they said of Jesus when they heard him teach with wisdom
…Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed.
“Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?”
they asked.
Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?
Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?
Aren’t all his sisters with us?
Where then did this man get all these things?”
The same video you are scared of recording for fear of negative feedbacks from friends and families, don’t be surprised they are the same set of people that will never bother to watch it.
Be wary of relying too much on covert validation from those close to you.
‭‭But Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
– Pope

Learn to Learn!

Be humble enough to acknowledge that you do not know, when you do not know.
Be open to learning.
Avoid making excuses for ignorance; strive to increase your knowledge.
The person you were at 22 does not get to decide who you have to be for the rest of your life.
Embrace growth!
As you encounter new and improved information, be ready to optimize your life choices.
Be committed to becoming a better version of yourself as you journey through life.
– Pope

Life’s Roller Coaster

In our one life, we’ll face ups and downs,
If we fail, well, we’ll pick ourselves off the ground.
If we win, great!
We’ll celebrate with glee,
But doing nothing due to fear? That’s not for me.
We’ll be brave, not scared, as we go along,
Facing challenges, singing our own song.
In life’s adventure, we’ll take our stand,
With courage guiding us, hand in hand.
In the passage of time, one life we’re given,
Where fate’s whims may leave us either forgiven.
In failure’s embrace, we find strength’s true grit,
Yet in victory’s glow, our spirits uplift.
With courage as our guide, fear we defy,
For dormant hands inaction does imply.
Through trials and triumphs, our journey unfurls,
In the dance of life, courage unfurls.
– Pope

The beauty side of failure

You can go from failure to success
But you can’t go from excuses to sucess
Do more than what anyone else would ever expect out of you.
‘hurry up and get it wrong’
Making mistakes is not the most damaging thing we can do when learning to build.
In fact, getting your hands dirty quickly and early on is an excellent idea.
See procrastination as the enemy, and start ‘getting it wrong’ quickly
It’s better to start acting, and fumble a little as you learn, than to wait.
For through missteps, we find our ways.
– Pope

Life :- Adventure, Journey, Voyage

The journey of life holds meaning in itself.
Faith is a spiritual passage, a pilgrimage of growth.
Though the path may be difficult at times,
Yet if we persevere with courage, the path leads somewhere beautiful.
When we refuse to surrender, life becomes an adventure.
Every day is a new segment of the voyage.
As long as we keep seeking, we will discover wonders.
The destination lies not in some far-off land, but in how we travel.
Each step holds promise if we walk with hope.
The goal lies not in the endpoint but in how we travel there.
This lifelong trek can be thrilling if we approach it with an open heart.
The journey itself is the goal.
– Pope
