To be a human being, to have a brain, is to be a creature that learns. A lot of learning is incremental and slow.
Think holistically about yourself, not treating yourself like a machine simply. Always thinking in guiding meaning of life. What's meaning for you at meta level.
Do not allow anyone to prioritize things for you.
There is things you know. There is things you don't know. There is things you don't know you know. There is things you know you don't know you know.
The brain ...can color experience... it is a living, growing, always changing organ ... the role of incrementalism and building up skills...
Aristotle had this very impressive idea that human beings are happiest and they flourish when they use their best capacities all at once together. That's when you feel most alive.
