Today I learned what a wisteria flower was…

Speed is key in a lot of aspects of life, but theres a difference between going smoothly and forcing movement — taking shortcuts, half understanding, half doing — rushing toward outcomes is the quickest way to stay stuck at a medium good level —

slow is smooth and smooth is fast

So im learning to take it slow — 10 years to master cinematography, 4 years to get good at board climbing — when you eat sit back in the middle of it and take in your environment, when you walk take slow strides, look at a beetle on the ground, smile at those walking past you, speak slowly and clearly, move with intention and experience whatever pace your at to he fullest, the more consistently you can do things slowly and smoothly the faster you will become.

On another hand, learning to focus my true attention on a few outcomes, allowing other less important things to be side projects or hobbies until they can have my full attention, I cannot be everything to everyone in everything everywhere all at once if I had to put it in a sentence — when its time to eat, eat - when its time to relax, relax - when it is time to grind, grind hard - when it is time to create, lose yourself completely

Today’s lesson was inspired by

Today the excitement is coming from the ability to find more…

I don’t want mediocre results by almost any metric that I measure my life — not looking to meet the standards of any boring external hierarchy — but by the overwhelming sense of being “used up” at the end of my endeavors

Being willing to exert yourself to limit with no guarantee of success, is a very new desire or ability I guess for me.

The status quo that I was born with is comfortable — acceptable even — but the joy of putting everything into pushing the limit of what is possible in your efforts however — finding a new 100% every project, every interaction, every workout, everyday — is a more tangible experience than anything I have come across in my short years on earth so far, can’t wait to find more.
