Writing these posts often feels like panning for gold. Searching through dirt for the nugget that will keep me going for another day. The idea that will let me write something new today.

That wouldn’t be so bad if there was plenty of gold to be found. And there probably is – if I wasn’t panning for gold wrong. It’s like I keep going back to the same patch of ground over and over. Going in circles. Panning for gold where all the gold has already been found. I keep finding things that look like gold but are really only copies of the gold I’ve already found. Made from some cheaper material.

It’s a solvable problem. I need to stop walking in circles. Move to fresh ground or dig deeper.
