Spend quality time with people who know things you don’t.
From the moment you were born you were programmed to grow stronger and smarter every day. Which is why you don’t come out of the womb with a driver’s license and a scalpel.
One of the most important ways you become a stronger, more capable machine is by simply interacting with other people. In fact, you learn more from other humans than from any other source. Even if you have a killer set of encyclopedias.
When you engage with humans they add:
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Insights
- Perspective
- Confidence
- Connections
- Resources
- Joy
- Entertainment
- Ideas
- Tools
- Support
- Kindness
- Happiness
- Inspiration
- Motivation
- Charcuterie (Definitely spend more time with anyone who offers a solid spread.)
Key Takeaway
Seek out human interaction. When you spend time with people who are ahead of you on your development journey they naturally pull you forward. Make sure to share with others too. You have gifts and knowledge that offer great value to those around you. And everyone improves in the process.
