 Don’t dream it — ''be'' it.<br>}}{{shitmaxim|Be the best version of yourself}}, unless your mortal shortcoming should be a lack of judgment, self-awareness or common sense — which, if your susceptibility for fatuous [[LinkedIn]] wisdom is anything to go by, it is.
-And if it ''is'', sailor, you are hardly well-placded to judge ''which'' version of yourself is best. Now, maybe there’s a ''better'' version of yourself out there — one with a keener sense of self-awareness, for example; a realistic appreciation of the manifest ways in which you disappoint those you hold dear, and just fail to animate anyone else — but, in our working theory, remember, that version isn’t the one you’re presently being. That version you might not erecognise, even it if it hit you in the face, which, if the two of you met, there’s a fair chance it would.

 And, as you wiped the blood from your nose, what would this better version of you ''say'' to you? It would tell your present you that you haven’t, as currently configured, got the gumption to find it. What would your present you say to this better you? ''You wouldn’t recognise it''. O tempora! O [[paradox]]!
