🛣️ Two approaches to life

There are two ways we can approach life:

1. Take responsibility and try to solve some of our own problems.
2. Expect others to solve all of our problems.

Some examples:

• Owning the integration points in our product vs. outsourcing everything.
• Critically evaluate what we hear vs. blind trust.
• Growing/raising some of our food vs. buying all of it.
• Learning to find fulfillment in doing vs. allowing others to fulfill us by entertaining.
• Making/building some of what we need vs. buying everything.
• Running Arch Linux on our computers, where we control the system vs. an OS vendor.
• Proactively learning about nutrition and health vs. total dependence on mainstream medicine.
• Owning YOUR Platform vs. expecting someone else's platform to solve all our needs.

In the short term, the first approach rarely makes business sense. However, long-term, we learn that the second approach is an illusion.
