  • Happy first day of summer! Can’t wait to have some fun and hit the beach 🌞
  • Anyone can become great, but not many will.
  • There are people who say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and then there are people that state that that’s not true - you can experience traumatization, ptsd, etc. ⠀ The truth is that it depends. ⠀ It’s entirely based on how the person takes it. ⠀ A set of studies looked at people that suffered serious adversity and survived. They found three different types of people - those that were permanently dispirited, those who went back to normal, and those who used experience to make them stronger. ⠀ What this tells us is that you can make what happens to you to happen for you if you let it. You can make what doesn’t kill you make you stronger, but you can also have it do nothing for you or you can let it make you weaker. It not just about the cards you were dealt with, it’s about what you do with them. ⠀ What doesn’t kill doesn’t just automatically make you stronger just because you survived. But it can. Whether it does or it doesn’t lies on you.
  • Just keep going. Keep moving forward. Keep climbing. Never stop. You will get to where you believe you’ll be. 🧗🏻‍♀️
  • If you could choose to have one superpower, what would it be? ⠀ It’s an easy answer for me. A learning superpower. I’m not too sure what the specifics would be, but you could get crazy with it. ⠀ Think about it: If you could learn anything, you could do pretty much anything most people desire to do. ⠀ You could learn how to make money, you could learn how to be popular, make friends and find love. ⠀ You could learn to develop discipline and take action to achieve anything you want. ⠀ You could learn about the body and health to become super strong, healthy and fit. ⠀ You could learn how to build machines and technology that would make you be able to do pretty much anything a super hero could do. ⠀ You could learn the solution to a major world problem. ⠀ Instead of saving people from one big bad villain, you’d be saving people from problems that affect millions like cancer and poverty. ⠀ The crazy thing is that this power is available to us. Sure it’s not a super power in which we’re able to just scan a whole bookshelf and absorb all the information or be able to learn a superhuman speed. But we do have the power to learn nearly anything. Many of us just never use it because we’re too busy working hard. Or we think that the people that accomplish these great feats are just super geniuses. The only difference is that they are constant learners. They know the power and value of learning and education. ⠀ Learning is so underrated. All this talk of hustle and grind and working hard is prevalent all over social media. This is a bit silly to me when we could be working smarter instead of harder. This is the value of learning and education. ⠀ It allows us to accomplish things faster and better and not only that, it allows us to grow and advance rather than continue to stagnate with outdated and limited knowledge. Knowledge is becoming more valuable than money. Education and learning are what can make us become great and attain power in our lives.
