Acquiring Knowledge Is A Superpower

Everything you are trying to do has been done before. When you accept this instead of puff out your chest at the ego-insult that you are unoriginal you open the doors to a superpower. That superpower is acquiring knowledge.

Books may be the best form of knowledge accessible to this day. With everything immediately accessible through Google it’s hard to pull ourselves to deep dive into a book for answers but heart and soul is poured into a good book. When we are trying to create something great, heart and soul are essential. A book need not always be right to provide you with insight but a Google answer does.

When we look to the biographies and lessons told from great people across generations passed we can absorb a lifetime of their best knowledge in just a few hours. It helps to smooth out our own journeys. We know it will be hard because we’ve been told and shown that through stories of persistence. There will be struggle. Every path will be messy and never straightforward.

We must prepare ourselves for hardship and always remember this.

When another obstacle comes, turn to the lessons of others in order to accelerate the way through. There are no shortcuts and exact answers, but coming to the battle standing on the shoulders of giants that have come before us gives us better vision of the road ahead.
