Just One Good Thing
The one thing can be small or big, easy or labored, fleeting or long. I carve out time to go play drums for two hours, go for a bouldering session, do a shorter 20 minute run, read a page of a book, eat something I’m really excited about, and more. Even on the most difficult day, I can adjust and find the smallest thing that I am excited about and do it.
I needed some way to change my outlook. Developing a habit that is less about more and embracing the simple and ordinary has brought me a semblance of peace. It’s allowed for adaptability and resilience when the days go sideways and joy and delight on days that go smoothly.
Just. One. Good. Thing.

I think this is a healthy understanding of cutting comparisons and bringing control over what brings you satisfaction and achieving it. Comparisons are fundamentally energy sapping. They totally over simplify context and leave you wanting something while both negating the external circumstances and most critically, fully discounting if you really want that achievement or accomplishment with all its externalities.
Reigning control over what you want, with enough reflection is the true answer for sustained contentment – the true secret to a life, lived and enjoyed.
I love this.
