by bill reeb

as you continue doing the work, as you make progress toward your desires, much of your focus should rightfully be on “what can i do today to move me one step closer to whatever i am trying to achieve?” while “doing the work” really seems to be about actions you should take, often it is just as much – if not more – about what actions to stop.
