I've been going through this transition recently of learning to accept it, and I think it actually comes from a feeling of not being happy with who I currently am. I was too focused on imagining a better version of myself. Like thinking about Friday night: the possibilities are endless. What will I do with my weekend? Creative projects? Read all the books? Meet new people? I want to be that person who does all that. I'm not that person today. So I try to jump between all these and get nothing done. Instead, once I've shifted to accepting who I currently am, it's much easier to just sit down and do 1 thing and be ok with it. Because I know I'm not some super prolific person, I'm not disappointed. And YET ironically this is a much better path to growth than being obsessed with achieving growth directly (I actually get shit down with this mindset)
