...and trying to learn to do things differently or accepting other people and their flow is useful in order to discover new things in new ways...

Ways that might appear strange, insincere or even offensive but if there is some logic or reasoning or context it can often still be worth following without going all in to discover the why or find more closer the reasoning (for example why someone said it more than take it as the end point)

Another way of saying the above:

Find a good speed / flow etc and some context where you're not distancing yourself too much and also not too close to the bone o lose it.

Go deep if can really enjoy and appreciate the rewards in that depth which naturally is needed since life was still developing and still is (I think that's us here and now!)
