🎧 A note for Papillion readers (read for you)

“There is a fine line between gratefulness and complacency. One brings peace. The other slowly convinces you to settle.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Papillion readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

The gratitude / growth ledger

Two columns on paper: 'What I'm grateful for' and 'What I'm pretending not to want.'
You don't have to act on column two today. You just have to stop hiding it from yourself tonight.

Rest is earned. Drift is borrowed. Papillion is full of people who never learned the difference — and one of them doesn't have to be you.

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.
