This newsletter is one way I've made my road. It's kept me focused on the next step rather than a perceived destination in the distance. Showing up to write this for 505 weeks (I skipped a few in the early days, but not a single one since 2016) has allowed me to embrace imperfection. It's provided both pressure and release.
I know what makes people grow more reliably than anything else. It is: taking on a difficult project with some amount of public accountability. This can be large or small: a lecture series, a business, a blog, a house, a child, etc.
It’s strange, but I know that it’s common to resist positive emotions, as well as negative ones. Ask yours
