The common phrase is “Be so good they can’t ignore you.”
Even better, “Be so aware you can’t ignore yourself.”
When we remove the barriers we can explore our minds at a deeper level to expose all of our insecurities and anxieties. This work becomes useful to avoid the pitfalls of making the same mistakes over and over again.
As Paulo Coelho says, “A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.”
Mistakes will happen but it’s the awareness and reflection of why they happened that allows us to make better decisions when similar situations arise in the future.
We stop ignoring the flashing red lights and begin to forge a new path toward learning about ourselves.
It’s one of the only ways we can become a better version of ourselves.
