Frame the Tradeoff ✍🏾

Most people inherit their frames without ever questioning them. Then they're confused when life keeps giving them results based on their frames.

You can't build new conclusions on old foundations.

"The real work isn't changing your mind. It's finding out what framed it."

Framing Reading well as endurance sport.

Framing blinking as 5% blindness

Utopia.

Until death, all defeat is framed as psychological.

When the ground doesn't meet you
You're not falling...
You're flying.

Framing.

Framing half discipline & half spontaneous

Framing how Knowledge creates technical debt

Guilt inducing frame.

You can break a frame handed to you.

Framing high-functioning pessimism.

There's a difference between brutal realism and pessimism.

Pessimism also indicates some sort of a defeatism where you're so pessimistic that you're paralyzed. You're unable to do anything.

But you can be realistic, and if the reality is pessimistic, you have to accept it. What you do despite that is what matters. So, we may have a pessimistic-looking view because that reflects reality, but every day we wake up and do good things. Every day we make improvements in everything. Every day we chart out new ambitions, new pathways in whatever incremental ways.

Maybe it's high-functioning pessimism. I think there's a constant confusion between realism and pessimism. So we are all realistic, but not pessimistic to the point that we are paralyzed from doing anything. Like, every day we are planning for the next 10 years.

With right eyes, you'd be framed as art.

Tailor Frame

“The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.” ​— George Bernard Shaw

Question the frame.

No permission frame.

The sky is the same
The frame is different

Agency Frame.
