Captain of the ship

I have my north star. I know what I want. I know what I value.

But every day is a battle. A battle between accepting mediocrity and pursuing what I actually want. Between settling for "good enough" and holding out for what's right, both from myself and others.

It is not my purpose to teach someone to value what I value. I am not a savior. My purpose is to be the captain of my own ship. And if I'm the captain I aspire to be, the ship will lead me to the people and places I need to be.

Every decision compounds. And when that decision involves other people, it compounds even faster, for better or worse.
