It’s about who you really are, the day-one syndrome when your knowledge is lost, experience wiped, skills forgotten, and only natural you, all that’s left. Such pits to end down in! What peaks have you fallen so far from? What is now left to look up and forth to?
Best place to be in, when you think about it throughout life, from birth to death, is not the highs of disappointment or the lows of hopes. Anyone on long-term wellness management would note that it is a flattening out of mood swings, so that however your life is wave upon wave, you mean to average out across some norm.
So when your optima draw from a more consistent amalgam of states, you don't keep faking profits, productivity, and progress. You don't show, or pretend to be. You are; better moment after worst episode, and mostly same old yet anew.
Progress ordinary, sibling.
