Today, before the FSP Weekly Update kicks off (about halfway through), I dip into a little soul-spelunking: Does being good at stuff make people… not like you? Is excellence alienating?
Should I… pretend to fail sometimes? Dilute the intensity? Downshift my drive? What if I told you my mind was trained for success—not gifted, not lucky—trained with something as unsexy and untrendy as daily journaling? Page after page. Day after day. That’s how I got here.
And now… I think it’s happening again. The itch. The signal. The pull to level up. What will that look like? I have no idea. But I hope you’ll come along for the ride. Let’s find out together.
Day 216 of My Living Xperiment: Leveling-Up after teaching self to "hold back," and what's coming up in the @FreeStateNH this week? https://t.co/4qs9h27kH5
