it is often said, or maybe it’s just me saying it a lot, that the smartest man ever once said “I don’t know what I don’t know” and as I’ve gotten older I have found that to be true.
The last several months of my life have made me question my worth, my identity, my dreams, and ultimately my desires.
At one time I found myself to have dreams of one day being rich and famous, of being powerful and important. I always jumped past the point of doing the work, right to the heart of the enjoyment of the success. My misunderstanding that there would be any point where you are able to alone enjoy the fruits of your labors, and not knowing how much rotting fruit would be laying on the ground around me.
I choose to believe that the times are “unprecedented”, that the current state of affairs is an outlier in the data and that the trouble one might be experiencing is just a temporary issue and we will be back to the regularly scheduled programming of success shortly.
