Thoughts on commitment

Commitment can be visualized as an hourglass ⏳

Specific life choices appear like pinholes of light. All your broad potential is narrowed down and sacrificed in favor of a single chosen path.

However, once you enacts the commitment, squeezing through the pinhole, you emerge to a new broadening horizon of opportunities, previously unattainable. Thus the full picture takes the shape of an hourglass.

The pinhole can fool the naive into fearing commitment, but in retrospect all of our progress follows these courageous acts of commitment. 🚀
