COT: It’s How You Finish
YHC shared advice from father and more so his leadership by example in the last chapter of his life. YHC shared about 2.0 who had an intensely dark period but now thriving. However at still at times battling negative self talk. YHC reminds her to push those thoughts out of her head as we get stronger from our trials and indeed it is how you finish.

Thank you all for posting and leaving it all on the field! Appreciate all of you gents.

PS…welcome back Smokey. An example of grit and perseverance.

COT: For better or worse, I tend to optimize everything, every aspect of my life. Efficiency is great but it can be too much. A strength turning into a weakness. This quote struck me.

“The enjoyment of leisure is something which decidedly costs less than the enjoyment of luxury. All it requires is an artistic temperament which is bent on seeking a perfectly useless afternoon spent in a perfectly useless manner.”

So here’s to optimizing in a perfectly useless manner.
