🐢 TREE 709: Unambitious vs unhurried

Monday: Make small things
Tuesday: Fail out loud
Wednesday: Grow incredibly slowly

You might get the idea that I am unambitious.

I think what’s happening is that I am learning to be unhurried.

I’m in this writing game for the long haul. So I need to work sustainably. I need to have fun as I go. I want to bring people along who are with me because they like this journey.

What I’m doing with FFOREST and the book I published in the summer feels different than anything I’ve done before. It’s definitely out of step with the constant mad scramble of capitalism, but…

It’s not aimless because I have ideas about where I’m going.
It’s not a hobby because I treat it like a job. I think it will make money at some point

The best way I can think to describe it positively is
unhurried.

Is there any part of your life where you feel the freedom to be unhurried?

I listened to this album yesterday for the first time in a long time. It’s a beautiful thing, except maybe the guy’s vocals on wanderlust. Not sure what’s going on there.

You might think I sign off with ‘grow slowly’ because I have mastered the art. No. It’s as much a reminder to myself as to anyone else. My emotions haven’t necessarily caught up with my actions on this unhurried thing.

Grow slowly
