Consistency · · ·

Writing is how we come to understand ourselves, a gift to our future selves, a record of what once mattered. It grounds our thoughts and gives them shape.

This one is for me. I hope you enjoy it too.

The past few months have given me a lot to think about. Life can happen to you out of nowhere, faster than a finger snap, and you’ve only got yourself-mostly-to keep it together.

In life, you’re either getting smarter or dumber. Stronger or weaker. More efficient or completely helpless. Subject to dependence or reliance. The latter is becoming exponentially easier, and the trend will only accelerate in the years ahead.

Don’t be that guy.

Being prepared is fundamental to your survival, but not only that… Being prepared is our only duty in life: to ourselves, to our loved ones, and to everything we care about. So, I am no longer taking time for granted, and I will always be prepared.

Actions-per-minute matter. A lot. We’re entering an era where productivity multipliers, across the board, are approaching infinity. That has to be harnessed, deliberately and fast. Or else…

So, I’ve made a decision: I’m going to stress-test myself—across the board, for an extended amount of time. No more skipped workouts. No more pushed plans. No more dragging out already-soft deadlines. I have to show up. Fully. For all of it.
