"I grew up in a home where saying no wasn’t an option. A no would get you a stern lecture, a long grounding, or worst of all, a withdrawal of love. So as an adult, I became existentially terrified that every no would come with some sort of blowback, such as losing a friendship, an opportunity, or someone’s good will. And now I give my time—and my life—away, sometimes to people who have been publicly shitty to me."

When I was in school, I never wanted to read books.
When I finished school, all I wanted to do was read books.
Life is funny.

Give a man a book and he'll read for a week.
Teach a man to follow his curiosity and he'll read for a lifetime.

Before you check your phone, ask this high agency prompt:
"What thoughts could I have that would make my mind more interesting than my phone?"
If you can't think of anything, good news: The question is the answer.
