Hello, welcome to the community! We have some new members, I would just like to do an introduction post. My name is Yip and I love learning and growing. I have found that my life's goal is in growth and teaching others skills. I have been through issues with depression and anxiety, and have grown out of these issues with room for even more improvement, and I would like to share my progress with the world. I love skateboarding, going to the gym, creating content, and making art. I also enjoy reading and learning about social media and I'm on track for a Bachelor's degree in marketing. I want to know more about my community, What brings you here, what are you interested in learning about, and what are the areas in life that you want to continue growing in? Also, how can I help my people in their search for their ideal self? Thanks for reading, talk to you soon! 😄

If you truly care about what you are interested in learning, growth comes naturally. Your consistency will allow you to grow as long as you keep on learning actively. Often, we are clouded by fear and doubt and excitement. We think that the best way to grow is to put in 200%, and then we will be successful. This is a common misconception. Real growth comes from doing the activity with as minimal effort as possible. This allows us to stay consistent with growth and avoid burnout. When we reach burnout before truly building a habit, it is easy to just completely quit the activity as a whole. When we build a habit first of consistently working on our craft, it allows us to eventually get to a point where what felt like 200% in the beginning now only feels like 50% effort, because your mind and body are in alignment with the activity. Things only get easier over time, and the hardest part of learning anything is the first 10%. It is hard to learn something without loving it. If it was not meant for you, you will never find real joy in doing the activity, even if you see external success. I want to know what is the thing that you love most in your life, and what would be a way to incorporate it daily with as minimal effort as possible to ensure you avoid burnout. Thank you for reading, I will talk to you soon!

I spent time thinking about, in essense, what I could dedicate my life to in learning and also have a career from. I decided I will take the route of electrical engineering. I don't have background in it but it is what I feel like I want to do. It is a new dream. One I just didn't know about or that was a possibility. It will definitely keep me busy this year as I dedicate time to really learn Mathematics, Physics, I.T. and Electronics. This is basically me aiming at the biggest thing I could imagine enjoying. I suppose I want to follow the quote: "When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do". It resonates with me because I feel a bit stuck sometimes and life isn't so easy when it comes to finding your thing to be successful at. Apparently that quote is from a movie I haven't even seen called "A most violent year"... I should probably watch that movie before I base my life off something but to be honest I feel this year is probably going to be "A most violent year". I will have to learn more in a year than ever before. So it is a bit scary but motivating too. I really liked the videos by Learn Quick. I watched two before joining: "Stop thinking" and "DON'T RUSH, you're learning". They really resonated with me. I have also suffered a lot with analysis paralysis in a way. Or atleast paralysis in feeling I couldn't get myself to always do somethings even if I wanted to. I feel I am getting over it. I'm really motivated to change my habits and routine and to be a better life long learner. I recognise that it is amazing to connect with other like-minded individuals along the way too, so I hope I can. I feel I will need it as I go through this new journey. I hope this channel and group will grow because I like the messages shared! Thanks! Reach out to me if you want to connect and give each other support/encoragement. It could be cool. I look forward to getting to know you all! Thank you for reading.

I often struggled with consistency in the past, and falling behind in progress would be so detrimental to me that I would quit the thing that I am attempting to learn, do, or create. As I age and continue to learn about myself, I realize that the only path to failure is quitting. Many of our favorite artists, musicians, athletes were rejected or "failed" countless times, but it is that dedication and commitment to their craft that prevailed in the end. Every failure just became a stepping stone on the way to success that they were able to learn from. That is to say, consistency will iron out all the ups and downs of your progress. Some days may feel better than others, but as long as you repeat your desired action day after day, there is no option but to surpass the competition. You reap what you sow in its entirety, so those who practice their chosen discipline day after day will excel, even if the results are delayed. Great things take time, nothing good was ever done in haste. Patience with yourself and realizing that mistakes are all part of the success is what will allow you to win in the end. What are some tools you use to be more consistent?
