Awesome, this message needs to make it into the performance obsessed bubble

Morgan Housel comparing his wife to an index fund is the funniest thing ever. From anyone else it’s probably an insult, but from him it’s the highest compliment!

In other words—Life is a Marathon, NOT a Sprint (or a 50 - Yard Dash). The Winners of marathons pace themselves - and pour on the Sprinting energy in the last mile or two of a race. We are humans in vulnerable bodies, not machines. Housel’s message of sustainability is essential—yes, strive for excellence—but Respect what you are.

Nothing is sustainable in this world, everything is temporary

I love cake. I don't want to sustain it day in and day out for 50 years, but what's wrong with me enjoying it for now until until im satisfied? Every relationship/friendship is not going to be a lifelong journey, but they're still worth having
