The goal is to now work the rest of my life and leave a great fact pattern for other people to copy. It’s the process now, that’s winning. There’s nothing numerical I care for. There’s no validation externally that I care for. I could not care less. What I care about is: is there a fact pattern that aligns more and more people? Can we create a movement to reframe and rebuild capitalism, bottoms up?
That movement is not something that anyone can ever take credit for, but to be a part of it, to bolster it, and to propel it forward, to me, will be an extremely great thing to be a part of for the rest of my life.
There’s no demarcation. Things, like when we talk about what a success looks like, or what are demarcations, all of those things are the traditional society’s infrastructure of ring-fencing people and putting them in a box. I just don’t want to live my life that way.
I am just as subject to the same weak, ego-driven, thinking as anybody else. I will succumb and be co-opted by these people, if I’m not careful.
I have to remind myself: it’s not about success, it’s about a process and it’s about creating a roadmap that many of us will copy, use, and reuse. It’s not about credit.
