Advice is cheap when the person giving it doesn’t share the consequences of your choice.

Normal people: having a regular conversation Me:

@_KevinConnelly Haha I just assume if I have a question while reading others will too and it’s worth researching

@BecomingMain I'm glad you explained why every character has 4 names in Dostoevsky novels!

@podcastnotes Appreciate the detailed s/o! It was fun to read these and tie them back to which stories I pulled the from.

Learn from FICTION, from my new favorite podcast - @BecomingMain Act decisively on big decisions: Delaying due to overthinking leads to missed chances and unnecessary pain—seize control by moving forward without hesitation. Commit fully to your ideas despite doubt: Internal belief trumps external skepticism; persist with your visions to turn them into reality through unwavering effort. Let go of past relationships: Holding onto ex-memories sabotages new connections—focus on present compatibility by actively releasing old burdens. Question first impressions: Snap judgments often mislead; approach people with humility to uncover their true nature and avoid relational pitfalls. Embrace the complexity of success: Achievements involve trials and growth, not simple wins—prepare for the full journey to build character and claim your destiny. Balance your inner duality: Acknowledge both good and evil within to achieve wholeness—suppressing one side leads to conflict, while integration fosters insight. Confront self-deception: Facing personal lies prevents breakdowns—denial amplifies issues, but honesty brings mental clarity and resolution. Navigate uncertainty with logic: Treat events as probabilities, not certainties—use evidence to solve mysteries and reduce fear by viewing challenges as puzzles.

🚨New Episode🚨: I was lucky enough to sit down with @AlexAndBooks_ and @DylanoA4 to talk about the value of Fiction and Non-Fiction when it comes to the stories that change us. Links below!

@Norwalt19 I’m glad you put that together…truth is I knew I was leaving the shallow end, but even then I was not prepared for the depths I have entered

@BecomingMain Did you gorge too much on the contents of Dostoevsky's pockets?

“Sorry, I can’t come into work today. No, I’m not sick, I just finished a book that is going to take me several days to digest properly”
