Plutarch: An Alexander wept for there were no more worlds left to conquer.
By his late 20s, Alexander had conquered the entire known and civilized world. This quote proves that men need to things that are difficult, and absent those difficulties, we lose purpose.
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, where you have no worlds to conquer. It’s easy to settle for less, and do less with more. But this is how men get lost, angry, bitter, and resentful. When we stretch ourselves, we should feel uncomfortable. We should feel nervous. If you’re not a little scared, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough. If there isn’t legitimate fear of failure, you’re not trying hard enough.
And if you fail? Good. Good. More opportunity to train, to push yourself. Unlike Alexander, you’ve found a worthy adversary, and conquering it will feel that much better.

Not a lot of mumblechatter this morning. People were too focused on not pulling a hammy I guess.
