You can’t #grow and protect your ego at the same time. Everyone wants to #improve. But not many are willing to look like a beginner. The truth? Improvement always feels awkward at first. And if you’re doing it right — it will. Here’s why being seen as “foolish” is a sign you’re on the right path ↓ 5 signs you're actually improving (even if it feels uncomfortable): 😬 You’re asking “dumb” questions ↳ Clarity beats pride. Every expert was once confused. 🎯 You’re trying things you’re not great at ↳ #Skill comes after discomfort. Not before. 🤐 You’re #listening more than talking ↳ Talking shows what you know. Listening shows you're learning. 📉 You’re failing — and #learning ↳ The goal isn’t perfection. It’s direction. 👎 You’re misunderstood ↳ If no one thinks you’re crazy, you're probably not trying hard enough. Stop aiming to look smart. Start aiming to grow. Be brave enough to look like a beginner. #Success Hit follow and renote if you want philosophy you can actually use.
