Rodney Mullen's Best Advice from Bones Brigade

I've heard plenty of people say we need to "look within" to understand ourselves, but when Rodney Mullen says that, he actually understands what that means. He says, "Be away, break away. And look in, not outward." It's sounds simple enough, but I don't think very many of us actually know how far in to look, or how much to break off, and we still so often pull from what is outside of us to define what is in us.

Of course that's not to say we should be without community. Rodney highlights the importance of his community and the gift of their synergy. But lets not fear being alone with our thoughts, and take the time to understand and asses ourselves. Look at what Rodney gave to his community when he knew who he was.

I cut together everything he shared that made an impression on me. Maybe it's not all "advice", but it's certainly insightful.
