I noticed something.

When I started these Monday Motivation posts, they were often short.

Early on, I got positive feedback.

But with that came pressure to share something profound each week.

I noticed the posts were skewing longer and longer.

More isn’t always better.

Sometimes it’s just more.

More Isn't Always Better Sometimes It's Just More
