Are you learning?

October 16, 2020
We all make missteps, mistakes, and just plain fuck up. It’s part of life and if you think you can avoid it you’re in for a bad time. I’d even venture to say that the most “successful” among us have made the most mistakes.

Getting good at anything takes hard practice. It also requires vulnerability and that requires taking chances. The bigger the chance the bigger the opportunity. Both to succeed and to fail.

But failure is only failure if you don’t learn from it. If you continue to make the same mistakes or missteps over and over again that means something needs to change. So what might that be?

Look, we will all fail from time to time. The only failure is the failure to learn. Get up, dust yourself off, and do things differently next time. There’s only one way to go towards your goals. And that’s forward.

    It’s no secret I love protein. I love it’s role in building and retaining muscle, I love its effect on satiety, and I love that when people choose lean protein sources over hyperpalatable foods that are mostly fats and carbs they get the thermic effects as well.

    Weight loss =/= fat loss. While most of us focus on the scale, this can be problematic from a physiological and psychological aspect.

    So much of life is just showing up. Now, I don’t mean being a passive cog in the wheel who just meanders through existence and wonders why life is stagnant.

    Spending your life trying to connect w/ppl you'll never meet while ignoring the ones right in front of you isn't "social". It's just media. This landscape is great for building your brand but terrible for building your life.
