“I would rather die of passion than boredom.” – Vincent Van Gogh

Certain times will challenge us. Certain times will leave doubts. Certain times will leave us beat up, worn out, exhausted. Sometimes to the point where we question the choices we’ve made. But truly… how awful would life be without them?

Uncertainty is pure gold. It’s what makes us feel alive, and it’s what memories are made of. No one remembers the lazy Sunday at home. They remember their first date. The first time they went on a roller coaster. The first time they walked into a CrossFit gym.

If everything was known, expected and pre-determined, life would be so horribly boring. It wouldn’t be a life at all. With only one of these, let’s welcome it, and make memories we’re proud of. We wouldn’t want it any other way.

MINDSET

“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.” – Socrates

A core belief of ours is to “always be a student”. Regardless of age, experience, accomplishments… there is always so much to learn. And if we retain this mindset, it allows us to keep our eyes open for the next improvement.

Let’s draw two themes from this: One is that everyone is a teacher. We can learn from every interaction, if only we look for it. Two, that we should challenge our assumptions. When we believe we have things figured out, have we truly seen it from all angles? It’s ever easy to become a “victim of the landscape”, falling complacent simply because we’ve done something so many times before. It’s working perhaps, but, could it be better?

Always open-minded, eager to learn. Always a student.

“No one was ever wise by chance.” – Seneca

Take two individuals, on a hike in the woods.

The first trips over a root, and after the stun, kicks the root in frustration and storms away.

The second trips over the same root, but has a different response. They pick themselves up, dust off, and refresh themselves on the importance to scan the path ahead. And he moves forward now paying closer attention, knowing it could have been far worse.

One took the effort to learn from it, one did not.

Wisdom isn’t by chance, but by choice.
