The Best Part of Being Human

I read this on a Reddit Post and it just resonated with me:

The Best Part of Being Human Is

The fact that no matter how bad you are at something, you can always improve.

We’re designed to get better at things with practice. We’re designed to push ourselves, and through pushing ourselves, we increase the limit.

You work out, you gain muscle.

You play an instrument, you play better.

You run, you can run farther.

You think, you think smarter.

Anything at all, the more you do it, the better you can do it. See those athletes who kick soccer balls into basketball hoops? They started out the same as everybody else. Weedy little kids. But they had a burning passion, and they kept at it. Now they can backflip through car windows. You’ve seen it, and you know, you can too, if you keep at it.

To quote Adventure Time, “Sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something.”

And that’s why I love being human.

Just thought I’d share.
