Why you Shouldn’t Give Up

invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth

Ecclesiastes 11:2

I’ve done and believed for a lot in my life. I’m still doing and believing for things. This resonates practically for me. If I wasn’t pursuing something I'd probably be in an inanimate state. This is the will to meaning. Something has to give you life and as you do you become. If you don’t have anything to do then who knows what you will become.

This doesn’t validate what a lot of people do, however. Taking on the shape of your environment as opposed to making your environment take on the shape of you isn’t the default, it’s programming. I’m a tech bro, I like programs, but not all programming works well or consistently. This means while one way may work 99% of the time, you may just be the 1% outlier.
