I’m sharing this story because there are so many choices right now –
You can choose the couch
OR
You can choose to dive into sharpening the saw or learning new skills
OR
Can you see the tyranny of “or” here. If I choose one path I choose to deny myself of the other path. Or is oppressive. It’s why so much self improvement, so many diets, and so many new ideas fail. Poor sad little “or”.
You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other or choose just one path. As Jim Collins would say in his book Built to Last “Embrace the Genius of AND”
