Expectations, The Law & Perfection

Oh, how fun life can be when it forces you to simultaneously live and survive in opposition and contradiction to your own self.

Today was the tale of two mentalities.

On the one hand, the vast and powerful enemy 'Time' reared it's vengeful head.
On the other, the never forgiving and always relentless 'Judgement' pounded it's iron fist.

Meaning...

I have a vision for The Echo System.
It's grand, enticing, contagious and perfect.

Time has a vision for me.
It's compromise, setting expectations, and the pursuit of best case scenarios.

In the world of design, development, technology, sales and resources we must make choices. Allowing myself to live with those choices will be both an art and a practice (and certainly more practice than art).

However, today was also heavily rooted in legal matters.
And that my friends, has no room for compromise, no room for best case, and certainly no room for errors.

My schizophrenia was encapsulated beautifully when there was a moment where I was simultaneously saying on the phone...
"Let's get done what we can get done. We'll build out more as we go. We can only do our best."

While typing...
"We must get everything done exactly the way we it needs to be no matter what it takes. No excuses. We can't afford anything less than perfection."

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"

Thank you Whitman.

I guess I contain multitudes.
All I can hope is that I stay large!
And oh, how I hope with all I have.
