"But how can I live a rich life when I’m living in the present instead of planning for my future? How can I live a slow life when I’m grinding each day to reach my goals?"
By recognizing that neither of those are mutually exclusive, and both are modes: tools most effective in certain situations, and not in others. Choosing only one is like buying a socket wrench set and then throwing away all but one of the sockets.
This was such a beautiful read Linart - so many learnings to consider and great to see them in the context of your journey.
Your last paragraph: "Choosing the best option isn’t always the best decision. Because the best decision is the one that allows me to have it all." Really struck me.
What exactly do you mean by that? I'm intrigued....
Appreciate you reading and leaving a comment, Zan! I'm curious, how did you interpret it when you read it?
One of the questions Lee asked me during our session was: How can you get a 'yes and'?
Instead of thinking that I only get to choose one, Lee made me realize that I can have everything I want if I choose to. I will admit it's something I'm still reflecting on (and actively applying to other decisions).
Thank you so much for this Linart! I so appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! There are some amazing things coming your way, I have zero doubt about that. I'm looking forward to continuing to move forward together. Next thing you know, we'll be meeting in person at some business conference or personal development retreat!
Writing this piece was a great way to reflect on what I learned from you! It means a lot to hear your kind words. I'm excited to see where we'll end up in a few years - at this point, I have good faith that the future is within our hands!
You are getting better and better each week Linart. Being able to make deep connections with other people and becoming the best version of yourself can happen at the same time. If possible, I want to retreat deep in the forest and also drive the latest tesla model 3. Life is strange and that's the best part about it.
Aww Franco, thank you so much! I think it is interesting how seemingly incompatible things can happen at the same time - it's the scripts we learned growing up that probably needs to change.

I was trying to internalize what you discuss here, and that's such a great way of phrasing it.
🙏 team effort!

Interesting - I like the yes and!
Well when I read it, it implies that an option and a decision are not the same thing, so it would be helpful to hear how you differentiate them.
On the second sentence - I think that's super interesting... I do resonate with the idea that the best decision gives you everything you need!
ooh that's really good feedback, thanks for asking the question and letting me hear your thoughts!
