Ignorance is bliss
In a world obsessed with metrics, the most powerful growth often happens when we stop measuring and start trusting the process.
We're trained to measure everything. Open any app, and you'll see graphs tracking your steps, your sleep, your screen time, your productivity. Each refresh brings a new chance to judge yourself, adjust course, worry.
But measurement can become a trap. Like checking your investment portfolio daily during a volatile market, or refreshing your social media metrics every hour - the constant monitoring creates anxiety without improving outcomes.
Breakthroughs often happen in the spaces between measurements. When you're too busy doing the work to track the work. When you're too engaged in living to document the living.
The moment you stop watching the pot, it finally starts to boil.
