➡✉FORWARD: Do you know about the perfect grind?

🚫🙈 TL;DR:

Grind your beans too little, their coarseness will leave your coffee under extracted (sour, acidic). Grind too much, over extracted (bitter, hollow). The same thing happens in life. If we seek the perfect grind, we get work done – but feel good about it. Extracting the best flavors.

Dethklok: The Dethalbum - Cover Art

The Dethalbum by Metalocalypse: Dethklok

If you need to go heads down to decimate a deadline. Enjoy the driving beats, excellent guitar work, and ironic-absurdist lyrics of an animated band (that occasionally tours).

💞☕In Conclusion:

In video games, you’re often confronted by enemies that seem insurmountable at first encounter.

But through the game loop, you acquire more strength, better weapons, stronger defense. You gain more mechanical skill and pattern recognition as a player.

Pretty soon, the tables turn – you’re able to “one-hit” that previously unbeatable foe.

Your reward is soon received. You’re quickly dispatched by a new boss that has an order of magnitude more power than the last one.

The cycle begins anew.

This happens in all areas of your life. You may not have consciously recognized it. But the problems that thwarted you as a teenager are mere background noise as a functional adult.

Embrace the grind and keep leveling up.

With Kindness and Respect,
Clark
