The Ultimate Free Lunch

There’s actually something comforting about knowing that all that lies in between me and my goals is a mountain of work and unpleasant, gut-wrenching personal change. After all, work is something that I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to avoid for years, and unpleasant, gut-wrenching personal changes have been a pretty major part of my life so far as well. They can only be more bearable when they happen simultaneously with great personal achievement - this is what economists call a free lunch. Awakening my mind from its fearful, lazy slumber of the last decade costs nothing, and (I hope) benefits the world more than what I have achieved so far in my life. The cost of my temporary discomfort, of stretching my atrophied brain cells and relearning the process of learning, is no cost of all. Learning to channel my endless stream of thought into a narrative will take time, but clear communication of the thoughts on my mind is a prerequisite to the way I want to live the rest of my life. One post on this blog at least every other day will be my writing practice. Also, I think it will be hard to put my thoughts down for others’ consumption this often without gaining some perspective on myself.
