500th post

Today marks my 500th daily blog post. I’ve been looking forward to this milestone as a kind of badge of honor, but the closer I’ve come to it, the less I’ve been interested in it.

500 posts is not a goal. It never was. This activity of shipping daily, of trying to be generous with creativity, of trying to speak something of value into the world ... this an ongoing practice. It’s a commitment to a particular posture.

It’s often said: it’s about the journey, not the destination.

Here’s my take: we have an opportunity to enjoy the act of journeying ... to experience the rewards of leaning into who we are and how we hope to be in this world. And that’s to play an infinite game where the joy isn’t found at the end of a long road. Rather, we can find joy daily, and even carry it with us as we go.
