From Adolescence to Adulthood: Navigating Life's Journey with Jonathan Rios
About this episode
Although the transition from childhood to adulthood is unavoidable, young people mature at various rates and at different ages, creating a diverse range of physical, psychological, and emotional skills.
As youths develop into adults, Jonathan Rios offers guidance, insights, and experiences from his own life to them. The teenage years are the beginning of maturity. And many of the experiences you have during those years will influence how you develop as a person and become a mature adult. Tune in as Jonathan talks about life, maturity, mindset, and growth.
Quotes:
- “When you have an issue with a friend, parent, work, or even your future girlfriend or wife, it's important to talk to them first before approaching anybody else. This is especially important as we mature into men.” - Jonathan Rios
- “If you guys want to get better at anything, you have to be teachable. You have to be willing to suck for a while so that you can become the master.” - Jonathan Rios
- “Information only informs you, it doesn't transform you. You must do something with it.” - Jonathan Rios
Takeaways:
As you become more mature, you'll need to learn how to communicate with people you have problems with, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Talking about it with others won't get to the core of the problem.
If you will be willing to suck at your interest for a while, you can become a master if you'll stay persistent. And know that you can succeed and grow if you continue to be teachable.
The way you assimilate the information is you then go do it. Exercise, practice, iteration, and repetition are all terms for putting something to the test. See whether it works. Then, go back and try it from another angle.
Conclusion:
We all have goals. However, your process goals are what truly get things moving. Our mistake was that we were too focused on our primary goal and neglected the three process goals. By hitting those nearly continuously, we will move closer to our desired outcome.
