Mastery and mattering aren’t flashy, but they outlast the dopamine spikes every time.
Guilty. I checked cnn.com today in a moment of boredom and discovered the chaos that is the U.S. Congress failing to extend the healthcare subsidies my wife and I depend on, in the name of reopening the governement.
