Raphael's intense historically inaccurate blog

I have utilized the growth mindset throughout every aspect of my life. I am always trying to be better than I was the day before in everything that I do. I am incredibly into my physical health. I eat as healthy as someone can, with the occasional pizza and movie night while my metabolism lasts, and I workout everyday of the week. I am always looking to learn from others at the gym, as their is always something to learn. Whether it be from the power lifters or the bodybuilders, or even the steroid junkies, everyone has something they do differently to improve their health, although the steroid people are more into the growth of their bodies and not their mind. I have taken everything I have learned in my 3 years of serious training and diet to create my own work out routine and diet that works for me. I have to eat way to much, because I have the metabolism of an Olympic sprinter, but I got to 195 pounds with very little body fat and I have never felt better, can't wait to try to l...

"Why Not" I have not really thought about this too much, it kind of ties into the last quote, but with risky things that are avoided due to nervousness, I have to think "why not". There won't be any consequences. Nothing bad will come of it, hopefully. Just do it. Getting Smarter

Although I have never really deeply thought about the concept, I have always had the desire to learn. I feel as though this is due to my peers being extremely hard working, always pushing me and themselves to work harder. Along with my peers, my brother has always had a growth mindset. When were kids, around 7-10 years old, he would literally read the dictionary before bed. He is one year older than I am, therefore we grew up together pretty close, until our teenage years because teenagers are the worst. He went on to be known as that "genius" kid around every school we went to. Although everyone thinks he is just magically smart, which I won't deny he has a natural intelligence to him, I've witnessed him study relentlessly just for the sake of obtaining more knowledge, along with studying for standardized exams. Due to this I came to the realization that it wasn't simply natural talent that gets people far in life, but it takes effort and focus. Luckily I realize...
