That pursuit is ongoing by the way, as is the effort to sustain it. The secret to all success is to remain in the flow.
The obvious: Don’t swim against the current. See where the river wants to take you. Be relaxed and happy that you’re awake on the journey.
And: be neither too relaxed where you don’t swim at all. Otherwise, the river will almost certainly kill you.
And definitely don’t think you can swim faster than the current: don’t be a “try-hard.” This is a term I heard used in the open-mic circuit for those who are trying so hard to make it they forget to enjoy it. The stress and the need for perfection is a distraction from the beauty, uncertainty, and finality of every moment. It’s never about the destination anyway. It’s about the brave lifestyle one leads in getting there.
Take time to enjoy the ride.
