Elliot Hunt’s Reviews > Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts > Status Update

Pick back up on day 16 when I get it back on Libby

The nature of being human is to have limitations. The culture of overworking ourselves in the name of productivity is insane. Humans aren’t machines and output suffers when there is a lack of balance or we push ourselves too hard. Rest is necessary, not optional or laziness.

Decisions / choices don’t need to be grand gestures - like driving home at night and only being able to see the small area made visible by your headlights - you can still make the trip. Don’t let yourself be paralyzed by the “distance” - the scope of the goal or possible outcomes or missed opportunities. Even small decisions / choices matter and move you forward.

On crossing bridges when we come to them. Worrying about the future is not just futile, but also distracts us from what we actually have - the present moment.

“Not freedom from limitation, but freedom in limitation”
