The personal pages
A little room
to think.
On attention, quiet progress, and the things we live through. A collection of personal essays, one thought at a time.
Changing Your Mind Is Not a Weakness
Sometimes a conversation serves its purpose simply because you walk away understanding something you didn't understand before.
Don't Spend Your Whole Life Preparing to Live
Just don't forget that today was once a tomorrow you were looking forward to.
When You Need Nothing
Respect should be part of our character, not a strategy for getting ahead.
The People We Judge
We know so little about the people we judge.
Ahead of What?
Everyone seems to be ahead. But ahead of what?
Motivation Is Unreliable
Most of life is not lived on highly motivated days. It is lived on ordinary tuesdays.
Not All Progress Makes Noise
A lot of real progress is boring while it is happening. You usually understand its value later.
Where Your Attention Goes
There are things worth knowing, and there are things worth building.
The Decision to Continue
Sometimes hope is not optimism. Sometimes hope is simply the decision to continue.
