Self-Education
What Are You Doing to Become the Best Version of Yourself?
It has been said for decades that the way to have a successful life is to go to school, make good grades, graduate, and get a good job. Well, that mentality has been holding so many of us back from living up to our full potential and also from learning the full truth of the world around us and the systems we are navigating. So many of us have been taught that there is only this one linear route to having a successful life, and that is simply implausible in today’s era. The time has come to understand that we must continue to educate ourselves outside of traditional formal education settings. We must realize the necessity to seek out what we truly want to do in life and educate ourselves accordingly in order to focus on and become great in those specific areas.
Below are a few books from my library that have contributed to restructuring my mind and helping me excel in life.
