You’ll get there one day.

If you knew all the events you would encounter this year that would affect your life in a meaningful way, you would certainly prepare yourself for them wouldn’t you?

If you knew your job would transform into something much different than you expected. If you knew you would have serious financial trouble. If you knew you’d move to a city far away and where none of your friends live. If you knew you would get burned out. If you knew you’d be forced to work closely with someone manipulative and duplicitous. If you knew one of your best friends would get sick and die.

I don’t know what you can see coming in your future and what will stay unknown, but one day you’re going to be there. You’re going to be in it. Between now and then you have thousands of hours (42 days = 1,008 hours) to train for those moments. Both the ones you see coming and the ones you don’t.

Everything is training for something. Do the work.
