The longer I’ve been alive, and the more GREAT advice I’ve gotten from a number of INCREDIBLE mentors and so many EXCEEDINGLY intelligent friends that I’ve had the privilege of knowing,

(advice that remains EXCELLENT advice that I fuggin NEEDED when it comes to those specific topics, and I continue to value and utilize)

just to watch these exceptional individuals turn around and flop miserably in other areas of life—Including areas that come relatively easy to myself (albeit very few),

the more I have:

1) Realized that no human being can ever live long enough to learn every lesson or know everything about everything—or everything about ANYTHING, for that matter, and

2) Been led, full circle, to probably the most valuable and profound piece advice I could ever provide to others:
