My Learnings: #43

In hindsight, solutions or missteps often seem glaringly obvious, leaving us feeling foolish, lazy, or cowardly. Yet, don't overlook the "fog of war"—the real-time uncertainty and chaos that obscures clarity during the journey, making navigation far harder than it appears afterward.

While self-reflection and constructive criticism are vital for growth, remember that retellings frequently downplay this fog's profound impact. Honor its role: it humanizes our experiences, tempers harsh self-judgment, and fosters empathy for others in the midst. Wisdom lies in acknowledging that what feels evident now was often veiled then.
