Fellow traveler,
Sometime in 2021, I showcased a piece that suggested that many things in life are a tradeoff and when we try to make everything a priority, nothing gets our full attention.
One of my favourite writers takes this ideology forward. “Life is about tradeoffs. When we know what to say no to, and we know why, we can say yes with comfort and confidence to the things that matter. To the things that last,” he writes.
“Work, family, scene. You can have two if you say no to one. If you can’t, you’ll have none,” he concludes.
This edition of The Joy List features some works to make those decisions easier to make. I really do hope you make the best of decisions and choose wholely throughout this year.
With joy,
Damola
