Personal Growth

The Myth of Arrival

We are often misled by the myth that we can arrive at a final, perfect version of ourselves. But true growth is an ongoing, unfinished process.

The Unhero's Journey

True growth is not a heroic narrative with clear victories, but the accumulation of barely noticeable shifts. It does not make for good storytelling, but it is real.

Life-Styling

Willpower alone is not a solution. Instead, design a solution around who you are and the life you want to live.

Akrasia

Sometimes, you will know exactly what needs to change, and still be unwilling to do it. Your mind sometimes acts against your better judgment.

Blind Spots

There exist moments where we believe we are living by wisdom we have never properly tested followed by the unavoidable process of relearning what we thought we knew.
