What do you wish you could do more every day?
Sing
Draw
Write
Here’s the thing though: I can do those things more, but I choose not to.
Every time i decide to do something else, I am actively choosing not to do them.
Granted, sometimes there are valid reasons – sleep, rent, actual progress on a real goal.
But can we stop pretending that it’s anything other than a choice?
That’s what bugs me.
People say, ‘i wish i had more time’.
You have the time, you just spent it on something else.
They say, ‘i had no choice!’
You did. You just chose the option that felt safe, easy, or comfortable in the moment, and that’s fine.
But understand this:
Every action you take – or don’t – is a choice. And every choice is a tradeoff. Every. Single. One.

Fully owned their own agency?
That’s power.
