You're competent.
You deliver. You perform. You excel.
People rely on you because you get things done.
But when was the last time you did something
just because it was beautiful?
Not productive. Not strategic. Not impressive.
Just alive.
Competence without aliveness
is a very efficient kind of death.
You've mastered the art of doing.
But have you forgotten how to be?
This week, do one useless beautiful thing.
Watch the sunset without documenting it.
Read a poem without analysing it.
Walk without a destination.
Life is not a project to be optimised.
It's a gift to be received.
