You can’t #grow and protect your ego at the same time.

Everyone wants to #improve.

But not many are willing to look like a beginner.

The truth?

Improvement always feels awkward at first.

And if you’re doing it right — it will.

Here’s why being seen as “foolish” is a sign you’re on the right path ↓

5 signs you're actually improving (even if it feels uncomfortable):

😬 You’re asking “dumb” questions

↳ Clarity beats pride. Every expert was once confused.

🎯 You’re trying things you’re not great at

↳ #Skill comes after discomfort. Not before.

🤐 You’re #listening more than talking

↳ Talking shows what you know. Listening shows you're learning.

📉 You’re failing — and #learning

↳ The goal isn’t perfection. It’s direction.

👎 You’re misunderstood

↳ If no one thinks you’re crazy, you're probably not trying hard enough.

Stop aiming to look smart.

Start aiming to grow.

Be brave enough to look like a beginner.
