Note: There are nearly two additional years of service that are lost in the career storyline. Doesn’t matter. i used to think it did.

Regret’s truth

Apple Watch in a waiting room
i will never regret visiting my dermatologist. Began as an annual visit. Then biannually. And now, triannually.

Regret is inevitable but it doesn’t need to be a lifelong sidekick.

Wisdom comes from experience.

Experience comes from making mistakes.

True wisdom is living with far fewer mistakes.

Is it possible you can eliminate or alleviate making mistakes?

If your goal isn’t impossible you’re not reaching high enough.

Insight: Keep making lifelong “mistakes”, but from small, creative ideas. Reach a point, and sustain it for your lifetime, where you never make a costly mistake.

In 2013, a book was published unpacking radical life-wisdom.

It’s challenging to comprehend the release was a decade ago.
