"It doesn't hurt bad enough" - I feel this! I have already done so much learning and integrating lessons that my life is overall, quite swell (some might say, highly optimized). I do have a few lessons that keep recurring to me that I seem to be resistant to integrate, because I have an awareness that integrating them would potentially require trade-offs that would make other parts of my life less good. I have a fear of breaking something more fundamental in order to fix this one thing. Sometimes I consciously think to myself, it doesn't hurt bad enough to take that risk yet, but when it does, I will be ready to jump on it.

Incredible writing. Hits so close to home. I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle, where I hit a low after being fed up with a lack of progress. I’ll improve, and the pain lessons, so I’ll ease up on the gas. I’ll slowly slip back into mindless habits, and life pummels me with the same lessons. Can only see the cycle for what it is through constant reflection

An amazing read, truly. Perfectly sums up bits and pieces that have lingered in my mind but hadn't been able to connect it all together before.
