Even with a good career and all the “adult milestones” I don’t feel like an actual adult. I feel like I’m pretending to know what I’m doing. Anyone else experience this?

    The Kobyashi Maru teaches a false lesson though. Complacency. While learning to be humble has value, learning to accept the current status quo as permanent is not acceptable either unless you believe it to be perfect. Haha. That was what Kirk reminded them of I believe, I’m rusty though

    Edit: also. Thanks for the kind words. Easy to forget to say thank you sometimes.

      I would say that most things in life are changeable. Being happy with yourself doesn’t mean you stop striving to be better. It means you accept yourself for your faults and all. Strive to be a better version of yourself every day no matter how small. Start small changes and build up.

      I hear people say “You are perfect just the way you are” but that isn’t true. Perfection is a goal to never be achieved but is always sought after.

      I do not speak to the aspects of our political landscape or the position of our society but the framing of our lives and how we can effect it.

      In fact I found quite a bit more happiness and perspective when I seperated myself from political and societal issues.

      I appreciate your candor in these talks.
