Not a zero-sum game

Is there not enough greatness in the world that we need to waste time establishing who is the greatest?

Is there not enough talent in one field that we need to waste time establishing who is the most talented?

Is there not enough skilfulness in the team that we need to waste time establishing who is the best?

Pointless discussions lead to meagre results.

And in the meantime, the world goes on thanks to those who understand that greatness, talent, and skilfulness are work and commitment at scale, not a zero-sum game.

Crazy

There are so many ways and so many paths to success, fulfilment, satisfaction, that it is crazy to stick with one that you don’t feel you own.

Keep searching.

Or just flip the narrative.

Life

Your life is as it is, there’s no point in making it sound larger, more exciting, eventful, and a total success.

Own it, instead, and give it the direction you want it to have.

You’ll never get there in a straight line, but you’ll be more at ease with the surroundings, wherever you’ll find yourself.

The muscle

In the end, there are probably more things in life you are uncomfortable with than things you can easily accept and embrace.

This should be a reason to train your acceptance muscle, not the excuse to give in to control.

It’s a counterintuitive reaction and a pointless use of resources.
