Shift the metric when it serves against you. There is little use in measuring the same objective context in a light to which prompts a spiral of complexity when it can be measured to provoke change and improvement. As if measuring the stars for the progress you’ve made while flying by the moon, or any other planet in the solar system. It is well to have a reminder of the ultimate game (the stars), this works better when it is coupled with stepped metrics for progress (measuring to each planet on the way). These metrics and which ones we choose are highly impactful on the perspective and idea of the world we have chosen to see. What could be one’s greatest failure is another’s greatest triumph. Context provides the basis for discernment, and from discernment is the far reaches of perspective, built upon the metrics to which one has decided to cite as evidence to justify their self-imposed emotional response (if any).

Meditate.
