I thought thriving

was dependent on abundance.

More time.

More money.

More margin.

More imagination.

More inspiration.

More of everything.

I called it growth.

It was imbalance.

I was over-developing one side

and under-investing in the other.

Resource-rich, but idea-poor.

Idea-rich, but resource-poor.

Misaligned.

Like stockpiling content

at the cost of having the capacity

to ship it.

This is the loop of excess

that leads to indifference.

Imagination in excess

of my resources.

Resources without any

imagination.

Both become waste.

The right question is:

Are my resources and imagination

in relationship?

Thriving doesn’t come from more.

It comes from intentional growth.

Aligned development.

Where each imagination

amplifies resources.

Where resources

inspire imagination.

Nothing overpowers.

Everything contributes.
