Gate III · Fruits · Day 19 of 35
Be visibly bad at something
The teaching
Competence is an identity we protect by never risking it. The fear of looking foolish is a grip on a self-image, and it is expensive.
Today’s practice
Do something today you are genuinely bad at, in front of at least one other person. A language, a sport, singing, a dance class.
Sit with this
What did you protect by avoiding this until now?
