LM: #283: Quit good
You’ve got something good. You worked hard for it, and learned a lot.
But at some point good is a burden. It’s a source of comfort. From one perspective, walls of security, from another, a prison.
You can’t see beyond those walls without knocking them down.

If exploring your potential and living an interesting life are important to you, you must quit what’s going good. The chances that you’ve been presented by default the goldfish bowl most-suited to your growth are nil. Even if you’ve made the bowl yourself, they’re low.
You can’t leave what you’ve got for something better. Better doesn’t come unless you’ve cleared the space to build it.
Quit something going well to be free for unknown but better.
Aphorism: “One becomes a painter by painting.” —Vincent van Gogh
Book: Chuck Klosterman’s The Nineties (Amazon) is either a trip down memory lane, or a glimpse into the past.
Best,
