How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Falcon

Reader guide · Falcon, CO

Comfort is not the enemy in Falcon. Numbness dressed as comfort is — and they wear almost identical clothes.

And this is Falcon: a Colorado Springs-area community of strivers and settlers — very often the same person, on the same Tuesday And that's the backdrop for everything this page is actually about.

🎧 A note for Falcon readers (hear it)

“Ambition is not ingratitude.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

The quiet signals you'd only admit here

You laugh when people call you 'settled' — not because it's wrong, but because it's accurate.
You defend your routine passionately when anyone suggests changing theirs.
Your to-do list is full of upkeep and empty of ambition — and you know the difference.

The Falcon walk test

Take a 20-minute walk through your neighborhood and narrate, out loud if you can, what you'd build or change if comfort wasn't in charge.
Whatever you said first — that's your thread. Pull it gently for seven days.

Your gratitude is real. So is the knock. Open both doors.

The book's third path

There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency refuses the two usual endings — get rich or get zen. Instead it argues for a third: keep your gratitude, keep your nerve, and let the two raise each other.
