Potential

Thanks, Sacha.

It’s not about the theoretical best. This is something I had to come to terms with years ago. If you worry too much about living up to your “full potential”, you’ll never be happy… what matters is that I build a life that fits me, and I share what I’m learning along the way so that other people can build even better lives.

I’m discovering that building a life – rather than hyperoptimizing it – is hard, but worthwhile.
