I’ve started noticing areas of my life where I seem to avoid winning. Rather than a desire to lose, I think this reflects a desire to explore, an unwillingness to move on too soon. If I finish this today, I know there will be parts of it still unexamined. Questions gone unanswered. Experiences left unhad. Why would I want to move forward, if it means leaving important things behind?
- It’s a model of progress as completion. But I think there is a lot more to be found in progress as iteration, refinement and steady accumulation.
- Ironically, the key to finishing things may be knowing that they are never truly finished, and thus there is no best ending to hold out for.
