Obsession beats discipline - go all-in on your craft until you either die or get reborn.
“I will build creative tools and products until I die.”
What It Means
Some callings are lifelong. Not a phase but an identity.
Why It Matters
Creates permission for permanent commitment. Some things are not experiments but destinies.
When It's True
When you have found your life's work. When the commitment feels like relief, not burden.
When It's Risky
When said too early before truly knowing. When used to avoid necessary pivots.
How to Apply
Once you find it, declare it
The declaration creates accountability
Example Scenario
“After years of building, person realizes this is forever. The declaration cements identity and direction.”
