A MEDITATION

“ Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

— Seneca

A reflection

Hustle without direction feels like progress but isn't. Before optimizing your weekly schedule, pick a harbor. Vague ambitions ('be successful,' 'be happy') are not harbors — they're fog, and no wind helps you cross fog.
