Why do you care about this? Just let life takes its course

When you to a cinema, do you count the seconds or scenes? No you just let the show carry on however it pleases

Why are some experiences better than others? They are just experiences to be enjoyed, even pain can be enjoyed, life with its up and downs

Did you really want to go to medical school or was it programmed into you by your parents or counselors?

Left started lower, goes higher, is a more defensible position, looks more fun, and potentially faster.

Everytime i see this my thought is, 'It's both' Why didn't I do it earlier, and f it i don't care. I'm doing it.

Nah, that “Do as thou wilt” bs is not good either.

Most phones have a built in counter these days, maybe not super-accurate but gives you an eatimation.

Second-best might be 10 years ago. Now is only third best :(

Yep, I am a late bloomer on all life things....

I started learning playing the mandolin at 32 late last year before I turned 33. I felt like I had missed my chance and should have sooner and I was too late to start but fuck I’m printing this up now for inspiration.

When life gives you lemons, fix bayonets!!

I've definitely noticed this with learning languages. Studying relentlessly means I'll have to unlearn more bad habits later. (Human, not computer, languages.)

It's worth getting a step counter!

First thing i thought of

It’s true! And sometimes it’s 4 steps back, 2 steps forward , 2 steps back, 5 steps forward.

It’s easy to focus on the backtracking because it sucks! But if one just keeps at it and trying as hard as they can, the steps forward are guaranteed

Hahah never heard it put like that before but I love it!

Glad it resonated with you 😄 thanks for letting me know

I feel like I'm reading a Buddhist fortune cookie without the filler. Good insight.

It’s crazy to think that things in life are so finite you can count them

Let’s say you’re 30 years old right now and you live a long life of 90 years:

- If you live in a temperate zone, like Canada, you only have 60 more summers to enjoy. If you put all those summers in a row, that's 15 straight years of summer. Imagine turning 15 and never getting to enjoy another summer ever again.

- If you read four books a year, that leaves you with 240 to read for the rest of your life. Right now, it feels like you can read all the books you want in the world. But nope, you only get 240. If you picked one a day, you could finish a lifetime booklist this year.

- If you go to an NBA game every three years, that leaves you with 20 more for the rest of your life. That’s about 45 hours, which is one workweek for a lot of people.

Yes that's what james clear said in atomic habits. You think if you make 1% improvement everyday that you progress in a linear fashion but the truth is you improve exponentially. If you make progress about 1% everyday in a certain field you will end up by improving 37 times than your previous one.

Nice try fbi

Yeah like being an anti semite like Kyrie Irving
