I aim to be mediocre in most of my effort - Paul Millerd

Enough is the antithesis of unchecked growth because growth encourages mindless consumption and enough requires constant questioning and awareness. Enough is when we reach the upper bound of what’s required. Enough revenue means our business is profitable and can support however many employees/freelancers we have, even if it’s just one person. Enough income means we can live our lives with a bit of financial ease, and put something away for later. Enough means our families are fed, have roofs over their heads and their futures are considered. Enough stuff means we have what we need to live our lives without excess.125

The comfort we feel when we do what is expected keeps us from developing the skills we need to face uncertainty.

A lot of modern writing feels like you're getting hammered over the head with words. Maybe that's the point to get you into submission to buy something or blindly follow. It's a big reason I've been reading more fiction and poetry. Even if some of the fiction writing can be too flowery, at least they care about a sentence.

One instance I see of this is the repetitive short chunk after a statement.

You want to be like a river. Flowing. Bubbling. Effervescent. Heading downstream.

It's like a staccato chaos. Maybe good for rap music but it breaks the brain down. Just write a better sentence of what you are trying to say.

You see the inverse too.

You need to be pathless. Not climbing. Not grinding. Not achieving. Just pathless. (what is the point of a sentence like this?)
