"Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

It's often about the small steps, not the big leaps.

The quiet progress you make, not the noisy success you relish.

The effort you put in daily, not the audacious stretch goal you choose to chase once.

Showing up all the time, not just when it suits you.

Measuring your progress by what really matters - not by what you think matters.

Some people chase success with reckless abandon, thrashing about with wild activity.

Others just show up.

And put in the work.

Success is about patience.

It's often quiet, slow, and deliberate.

Unseen.

But it's there.

I Don’t “Be Myself”. I Build Myself.
Self is not found. It’s designed.

I choose what stays. What goes. What sharpens. What softens. Every day I update the code. I don’t wait to discover — I write.

Good morning, everyone. ☕️

I have a morning full of meetings and the afternoon free for focused work. Let's see how the day turns out. At least it's no longer raining and it would be good to go running a bit.

What's on your agenda?

imagine if you had the time to properly take care of your place & your relations (family, pets, plants, etc.). i'm taking the day to do just that today and i can confirm: it's bliss.

this quote is in the context of possibilities that emerged during the pandemic: "what's exciting is how quickly people returned to their kind of "feral" human patterning. what it is that we *do*. and we *are* this sort of relational, custodial species. we look after our place and we look after each other. and we're never ever happier than when we're doing that. [...] it might seem like it's really boring, but it's just bliss." - tyson yunkaporta, at around 53 min into this youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aPVln_L5JU
