        You really need to be careful about who you let to be in your mind. Your mindset is the most important for your success. Be careful with what your feed it. Talk to people who have the ability to have meaningful conversations with you.

        Jim Rohn rightly said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Having healthy uplifting conversations is how we grow as humans

        I think this captures a good deal of why my behavior is often “introverted”... I like talking ideas 🤣

        "The best conversations make your ideas better and feel magical. The worst conversations make all thoughts blurry and leave you pessimistic." This is a strangely self-centered view of good conversation. Conversations are two-way exchanges.

        If two people come to a conversation with opposing views and engage with each other in an earnest attempt to find the truth, in what scenarios could they be parting ways with both of them thinking their idea was made better and also feeling magical?

        A good essay. Thoughful. Though really being sure that our motive is really the pursuit of truth can be tricky- self deception is easy. Any advice on how to avoid it?

        A good starting point I enjoy asking: 1-Who has the most polar opposite views to you politically and in connection to your faith position? 2-(That you can introduce me to). 1 is easy 2 reveals the truth.
