For years I was telling myself that I was challenging myself when looking back at it, I actually wasn’t. I was doing all of the things I thought I should do to realize my dreams and ambitions , reading books, listening to podcasts, seeking new perspectives ,but all I was doing was going through the motions on a daily basis and complaining that things weren’t changing in my life. I don’t look back at that version of myself with regret or embarrassment, I was doing my best with the level of knowledge I had at the time. But if I’m being honest with myself, I do envy how much further along I’d be in my growth journey had I known this sooner.
