Resist intellectual extinction! In the fast paced world we live in, wisdom comes from expanding our thinking. The knowledge you have today won’t get you to tomorrow. I spend 1 hour each day learning something new: a new idea, perspective, skill, etc.
It’s a simple habit, but the impact is profound.
1️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝘀
→ Dive into a topic you know nothing about. It’s a humbling and enlightening experience.
2️⃣ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀
→ Read something that contradicts your beliefs. It’s not about changing your mind, but understanding different perspectives.
3️⃣ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹
→ From coding to cooking, the possibilities are endless. Choose something that excites you.
4️⃣ 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲
→ Try, fail, learn, repeat. Failure is a stepping stone to success.
5️⃣ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲
→ Teach someone what you’ve learned. It reinforces your understanding and helps others grow.
The recipe is simple 👇
→ Keep an open mind.
→ Embrace new experiences.
→ Never stop learning.
And remember, the goal is not to know everything, but to understand a little more each day. 🌱
