6.10.25: Get 1% Better

Everyone says “get 1% better every day” like it’s motivational. But that math never stops. What if I don’t want to keep optimizing forever? What if I want to sit still without guilt? Rest isn’t regression. Maintenance isn’t failure. There’s beauty in plateauing sometimes — just existing without chasing the next version of yourself. Growth culture forgets that humans aren’t spreadsheets. We aren’t meant to scale infinitely. I’d rather be deeply good at a few things than constantly scrambling to improve everything. Sometimes the best version of yourself isn’t ahead — it’s right now, already good enough, just waiting for permission to exhale.
