greatness and achievement are an inch away. and then an inch away. but it is such a painful inch. and now i know why.

if i reach for that inch-away treasure, i’ll be setting myself into an infinite long downward spiral of excellence. and it is its pressure that intimidates me. cause once you’re good, you’d better be good till the end of time.

what about saving that inch for yourself? what about stopping and smelling the roses? or worse, what about reaching out for the infinite and then realising you’re getting to an infinite distance from the roses’ smell?

laziness, or at least a sibling of it, pays out well, when dosed in the right amount, and administered accordingly.

(after all, it is just one life, so who said you can’t screw it up at least once in a while? nothing like guilt to get you back into track.)
