The Okayness of Ungreatness
If you’ve read much of my writing here on Medium, you know I tend not to stick to a particular topic. A good data analyst might be able to derive some patterns, but I mostly like to write about what’s interesting to me in the moment. I’m exploring my own thoughts and ideas about life, liberty, and the pursuit of a great grilled Salmon.
So, you might find some of what I write in this little piece contradicts some of my previous writing. Life is filled with contradictions, and much of the opinions I once held fast have become fluid as I’ve gotten a little bit older. Who knows? Maybe next week I’ll attempt to prove myself wrong.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
A Google search for the term “work in your genius” yields 616,000 results. “Be more productive” yields 34,900,000.
Opportunities abound, but in certain respects it’s a difficult time to be alive. There are many hands pushing us in all kinds of directions:
- Be more productive
- Be more mindful
- Be more present
- Have a side hustle
- Be social
- Be involved in a social cause
- Leverage yourself
- Make more money
- Give more to charity
