If you try to engineer a perfect life, you will get stuck in a kind of meta-planning ... waiting for all the right conditions and worrying about every variable.
It’s paralyzing. Meanwhile, days slip by.
But if you ask, “How can I make today marginally better than yesterday?” you have something you can actually work with.
If you can make today a little better, and then do it again tomorrow, you’ll look up one day and realize you’ve built something substantial.
You accumulate these small improvements, and, almost by accident, you end up with a pretty good life.
