“What if this is as good as it gets?” Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson, As Good as it Gets)

Well, it is if you want it to be. Because there is always more to learn, something else to try, another place to visit, a different version to read.

If this is where you want your life to stop and stay, then don’t do anything new. This will be your peak.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you will be able to maintain the status quo for long, because things change. Sometimes things change slowly, sometimes they change quickly.

When asked how he went bankrupt, Mike, a character from Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”, said that it happened “Gradually and then suddenly.” Often that’s how things go, change happens slowly, almost unnoticeably slow, then it happens all of a sudden and at that point there is nothing you can do about it, except for hold on for the ride.

Regardless, change comes to us all.

If you put off until tomorrow the work of becoming the kind of person you want to be, who you are today is the person you will be. And then I can guarantee that this is as good as it gets for you.
