Impossible’s paradox

What is impossible’s paradox?

Impossible’s paradox is that everything has a price.

Peace and contentment has a price.

Living within your means has a price.

Setting a low bar has a price.

When one bar is too high it might poison another bar.

You may temper your career ambition and earn a significantly lower income. One benefit to this is your work doesn’t own you and you don’t bring it home with you. Conversely, you may not have the money to travel.

Paradoxically, you may have plenty of money to travel. But your work owns you and you take it everywhere. And you may not have time or focus to get and stay healthy.

When people say, work

Disney theme park reservation availability
Didn’t walk the past two days because i was in 0° daytime temperatures. Didn’t walk the previous two days before that because they were scheduled rest days. So, four consecutive “rest days”. So to go for a healthy walk i knew i would not be far from Magic Kingdom if i decided to walk that far. Looking at the photo above, no reservation was required.

When people say… 

With everything that’s coming at us, it’s time to really focus on our career.

What do they mean it’s time?

Hasn’t it always been time? Always.

Bonus: Success and autopilot don’t mix. They are opposites.

With everything that’s coming at us (etc) it’s time to really focus on the value we bring to our organization. Our career has never been more important.

Never?

Ever?

May i just ask, “Are you serious?”

What do they mean “it’s time”?

Hasn’t it always been time?

Always.

Like always.

Seriously.

Small talk, holiday version, work

Professional Text thread
From my extensive research, most cannot rattle off their priorities (in priority order).

So, how was 2024?

So, what are your plans for next year?

Are you satisfied with both answers?
