white text on black background. Obsession is greater than discipline. You don't force yourself to start. You force yourself to stop. The right work doesn't feel like work. It lives in your mind like a separate entity. Always on. Always hungry. Never letting you quite the game. This is not about showing up. This is not about 'consistency'. This is an unrelenting, uncontrollable addition to craft. It's intensity meets iteration. It's a religious devotion to the details. It's an art, a sport, a pursuit - that feels too good to be true. But it is true. Your one job in life is to find work that feels like a miracle. Some find it early. Some find it late. Some never do. But once you do see it - there is a before and after moment. It all makes sense. And then, the mission becomes simple.
