Constraints can be useful Last year I binged through the show “The 100” and had the same experience that many others had — it was fantastic at the beginning, but faded as the seasons wore on. There are different theories as to what happened, but I think the lack of constraints hurt them.
Great post... AS USUAL, Mickey. Besides "The Obstacle is the Way" is "The Ego is the Enemy," and "Stillness is the Key" by Ryan Holiday. And all are exercises in constraints of different sorts. So much to learn. Re Fighting through vs. going around reminds me of the end of the Serenity Prayer, requiring "...the wisdom to know the difference."

Ooh, great tie-back to the Serenity Prayer. I like it!
