Thinking of love and hate, honesty and dishonesty as extensions of myself helps shape how I build relationships and how I act. The truest honesty I show to others is reflected in how I extend honesty to myself and share it with them. Those who are not honest with themselves are also not honest with others. If I don’t forgive myself, my hatred for others also fosters negative feelings within me. I can accept others in myself just as much as I accept myself. My well-being always comes first, with others coming second. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The advice to concentrate on one thing instead of trying to excel at many is valid, as it’s also challenging to master a single skill. If you neglect the other essential background abilities necessary to enhance that one skill, you will be unable to overcome your limitations. For a top-level skill to thrive, the supporting average abilities for that skill must also develop concurrently. Concentration should not be an excuse to avoid or ignore what’s important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
