Ev BogueI get asked this a lot:
"Why would you ever...?"
Leave a city that you love so much. Delete a best selling e-book that still sells copies every day. Quit a job with a fancy title. Stop eating something that tastes good. Donate a perfectly good jacket because you I have two.
Why? Because it isn't a challenge anymore. I'm covering the same ground again and again. I'm taking 25% of my energy and investing it in time that has already eclipsed. That leaves me with only 75% for the new stuff. As more things build up in the past, more energy gets dedicated to maintenance. Pretty soon I'm maintaining with 100%, which equals stagnation.
I don't want to maintain connections, I want to grow the existing, or create new ones. This applies to everything in life.
I untether to evolve.
