This morning, I worked on a paper on a very blogworthy topic, but I don't want to blog about it too specifically until I submit the paper, out of a risk of an accusation of self-plagiarizing. For now, I'll simply say that it's important to keep making progress. No matter how good your current situation is (physically, spiritually, economically, or in any other way), it could always be better. Yet, your situation can't get better unless you're willing to put in the work to change it and move forward. Stagnation is damning, at least in the literal sense of the word. So, if we are to pursue eternal progress, we should develop in mortality the habit of continually striving to make progress. We should continue to try to become better in every important way. We should grow comfortable with the cycle of making an attempt, receiving feedback, gaining wisdom, and making another, better practiced, more wise attempt.
Progress is important. It's important to keep striving to make progress in important ways rather than letting ourselves stagnate.
