Monthly Mindset, October 2021: Accelerate

Allow me to address the TTS Gang for a moment. I’ve neglected y’all and that’s a product of acclimating to an entirely new life. Since accepting an offer at the new spot, I’ve been direction-agnostic – forward is the only option. It’s been full steam ahead sharknado style and I don’t see myself slowing down anytime soon. October is our time to ACCELERATE in hopes to gain the necessary momentum to jump to lightspeed.

…

I’ve been saying “moving & grooving” quite a bit. It’s typically in response to someone asking me if I’m able to keep up with the pace of a thousand speedwalkers (just imagine the friction). I went from a calm, stagnant WFH lifestyle to the 2019 LSU Tiger no-huddle offense. Things are great, just carving out my spot in the points-driven system. 

It’s typical of a corporate employee to feel burnt out by a year’s worth of grind but I’m looking to avoid the Q4 hangover and instead ride a tidal wave into the holiday season. That being said, I’m self-aware to the simple fact that this speed is not sustainable without establishing the proper guardrails. 

Whilst hurling through the air nearing Mach 1, I realize I must be cognizant of the engine that is my mind & body. I’ll be grinding mightily from here on out which means less time spent in the Discord and perhaps less pure ideation on TTS but I’m sharpening the blades to eventually build the space station we’ll need to reach the moon. In the meantime, indulge in a playlist personally curated by Italian King, David Bracciano. It’ll keep you mellow in times of stress and stimulated during a stoic moment featuring bourbon and cigar.

We’ll talk each week. I’m still very accessible. Shit is just brazy rn. Shifting into high gear.
