Several mages gave me great advice - which I didn’t completely ignored, but didn’t pro actively take the advice. I just blasted someone for doing the same.
I, Fuego, henceforth apologize to each of you, and vow to take each and every piece of advice.
The state of learning, growth, evolution, is the state of going into each day accepting your knowledge is at best incomplete, at worst incorrect.
People who stop learning are on a pathway to decay and are certainly NOT ascending in any way.
Things that stop growing and changing die, that is the fundamental definition of life.
Fuckups are the inevitable side-effect of doing anything in life worth doing, don’t get too cozy with them or elevate them but don’t let them get you down, either.
Wake up every day and find the balance beteen quiet confidence in yourself to do what needs to be done, and the simultaneous awareness that not only do you not know it all, you never will, but that you WILL know more this time next week, and next year.
(Hits Google to find ways to get Fuego to stick things up his butt.)
