Love this advice, @fearguyq! I’m glad you challenged yourself to go for likeness anyway. Honestly my recommendation to avoid likeness is aimed more at beginners or timid/fragile learners. The challenge of likeness is very commonly attempted despite its difficulty. It can be deflating when not achieved and can even threaten further attempts.
BUT I know that resilient learners will be able to look past my recommendation and push themselves further. Often they will push themselves to success regardless of the time it takes, as you have. If it’s not achieved, often they can’t help but keep trying till they succeed.
In my experience I don’t have to focus my recommendations toward resilient learners because they’re going to push themselves no matter what. It’s the more fragile learners that need more “rules” to funnel them toward success safely. All that to say I completely affirm your “disobedience” and likeness achievement! 👏
