Extremes
Extremes are fun but are unsustainable. They are unsustainable because they are extreme.
~ You want to drive a muscle car? Be prepared for a stiff ride and poor gas mileage.
~ You want a rock crawler jeep? Get ready for some serious road noise.
~ You want a truck that will pull a 5th wheel? Have fun parking it at the grocery store.
If you pride yourself on being super practical… experiment with extremes for a season. See how it feels. See what you learn. Perhaps it's time to loosen up and go to the edges. Disrupting logic and practicality might be eye opening.
Parting Thought: Bragging about a $6 shirt is the same as flashing a Rolex. Ego is ego.
