Two voices

The voices in my head, they always come in pairs:
“It’s the journey that matters” vs “What truly moves the needle”
“Money matters” vs “In the end, money doesn’t matter”
“Be more present dad” vs “Work hard for family”
“Progress takes time” vs “We don’t have time”
“Focus on strengths” vs “Learn from failures”
“Focus on one project” vs “Many small bets”
“Enjoy the world” vs “Fix the world”
“No time” vs “Just prioritize better”
“Finite games” vs “Infinite games”
“Work out more” vs “Work more”
“Code more” vs “Market more”
“MRR” vs “One-time revenue”
“Sleep more” vs “Work more”
“Future me” vs “Past me”
“B2B” vs “B2C”
“Me” vs “We”
Every day, a tight rope balancing act.
Every day.

Sounds exhausting. I will repeat the title of the book I’m reading: Don’t Believe Everything You Think.
As @Winkletter would point out: context matters. If you wrap every statement in a context, you’ll realize when it matters and when it doesn’t.
