The path of least resistance is a poor teacher.*
(Ryan Holiday)

There are certainly three times in my life when something happened to me that I didn’t like one bit, but they got me to to here, doing what I’m doing.

The thing you don’t like may become the most important thing of all.

And when we put some disciplines around the things we don’t like we end developing skills.
