The river of time is pushing us forward, every day. We should be riding the waves as we gaze downstream, not fighting the current and trying to stay afloat.
Welcome to the time machine. Yes, we all charged into the year with high hopes and ambitions. Yes, somehow January is 240 days long. So now's a good time to fast forward to summer time and think about how we'll feel about what we did with these chilly early days of 2024.
There's nothing that will give you instant and complete clarity like a big, high-level problem. When very serious things happen, trivial things melt away and we are challenged to reckon with what does and doesn't matter.
