Upgrading yourself

If you’ve ever upgraded a computer or a phone…

It’s probably because you decided that, despite the new version doing essentially the same things as the previous version, that the upgrade is worth it.

…That the incremental gains are important enough to invest in.
…That leaving it too long means you’ll be left out, or less competitive.
…That the cost is justified, even if not in an immediately obvious way.

Even if that cost is many thousands of dollars.

But when considering learning or upgrading a skill…
…Or training and nurturing a new interest that makes you better…
…Or investing in your mind and how you interact with the world…

Many of us struggle with that.
We won’t make ourselves slightly better, almost as though we value our smartphones more than ourselves.

If your phone is good enough, why aren’t you?
