Low hanging fruit is a thing, but have you ever seen a low hanging apple you'd want to eat?
They're either not ripe, or past their prime and filled with bees.
The good stuff doesn't come easy, and is rarely just waiting to be picked.
Meaningful progress is tough to reach.

Context as value and knowledge creation.
Data hoarding is like having a million seeds but no garden.
ALT part of a comic strip with three panels: first one is a hand with a seed in it with text, "I was a tiny seed in your hand. Not much use until..." second frame is a hand placing the seed into a pot with text, "you placed me into the right context..." and final panel shows a hand watering the sprouting plant with a watering can next to a sunny window and the text, "fed me just the right amount..."

How to fudge numbers by cropping the Y-Axis.
If this was with the correct axis (starting at 0). The usage would look plateaued or flat for the months of Jul-Nov (~0.7%)

My most recently published piece discusses how resolutions provide a false sense of accomplishment and why so many fail.
Hint: setting a future date to make a change it's the first sign of de-prioritization.

Many people are good at thinking, but very few are good at *re-thinking*.
Personal growth relies on the willingness to accept new information and use it to complement your knowledge.
Rethinking does not mean changing your mind. It instead focuses on having an *open* mind.
Don’t confuse repetition with consistency.
Repetition is doing the same exact thing over and over.
Consistency is a mindset that focuses on improvement, although *not* through the same exact daily methods.
Success is built on consistency.
Setbacks always loom large at the moment.
It’s worth knowing that with the benefit of time and knowledge, said setbacks most often are a small pebble in your success journey.
Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Wisdom is not about how much you know at a given moment in time.
Wisdom is about knowing that there's so much you don't know.
To be wise is to always be willing to learn more.
