What else blocks the flood of plenty in every corner of life?
Yesterday, we discussed the inability to tolerate uncertainty.
The flip side's the same beast: rejection of the flawed, aka perfectionism. Hit the ideal, and hit it now. Anything less? Worthless. It’s either a zero or a one.
But in such binary thinking, there’s no room for the state “in-between.” So "what I have" and "what I want" end up as rims of a chasm. No bridge spans it.
Building something new means enduring long stages of “ugliness”:
Idea
Research
Sketch
Prototype
Production Plan
Pilot Model
Finished Product
Idea for Version 2.0
At every stage, the product both exists and doesn’t. For the all-or-nothing man, that in-between limbo's pure hell. Shielding himself, he stamps the edge: "I’m burning to start—but I won’t."
The irony is that abundance in his life also both exists and doesn’t. The pedant could change everything at any moment. Nothing wild: just microdose imperfection.
That's how you taste the strange kaif (كايف) of self-realizing in motion.
Yours sincerely,
