Episode 3078:

David Cain reveals why truly important lessons often have to be learned over and over again before they become second nature. He explores how our deepest insights fade unless revisited deliberately, and offers a compassionate reminder that self-reinforcement, not perfection, is the path to growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"If something is important to you, then the fact that you keep forgetting it doesn’t make it less important. It makes it more important."

"Learning, in the practical sense, is not a binary switch we flip, but a direction we face and keep facing."

"The moments when you realize you've forgotten a vital principle aren't failures, they are the principle asserting itself again."
