The spectrum of life lived, experiences had, and lessons positively learnt aren't wide, or often enough.
Without meaningful mentors, free of personal agendas, helping you push you push yourself, self-development can slow down.
The thing is, innovation and creativity live in the mindset of possibility, not doubt.
Building one skill trumps all others: discipline. First a healthy inner-dialogue, and improving discipline every day in every way.
We easily become undisciplined, so we seek the discipline of others instead of finding our own. Some march to someone else's orders, and follow the direction of others. Everyone's doing this framework? Everyone's building this? What am I missing out on? We feel left behind when our own feet aren't moving, let alone away from time wasting, resultless things like entreporn.
It takes a lot of self-directed effort to get in, and stay in a mindset of possibility, while not getting washed away in the self-doubt of others, or the blindness of your own.
Becoming and staying self-directed and relentless is a challenge, focussed on the right things even more, everything in life will want you to fit in if you let it.
All I know is if I'm doing what everyone's doing and using what everyone's using, I'll end up like everyone else.
