“it actually takes a daily effort to be free. To be free is not the result of a moment’s decisive action but a project to be constantly renewed. More than anything else, freedom requires tenaciousness. There are intervals of repose but there will never come a state of definitive rest where you can give up because you have turned freedom into a permanent condition. Freedom is always precarious.” – Geoff Dryer (via Austin Kleon Newsletter)

Persistence and Discipline Equals Freedom (Jocko Willink). In the face of your failures, in the face of things that are outside of your control, and in the face of comfort and familiarity, Persistence and Discipline equals freedom.
