This week’s newsletter will be a relatively short one as I have had a jam-packed week with some productive struggle, an incredible time in Paris and tonight, some loud live music. I spent three nights in Paris and I pondered how struggle can be incorporated into a holiday and I think I have sussed it out. You may be thinking: “oh god, now he wants us to embrace struggle even when we’re on holiday.” But I’m not suggesting you go out for runs or continue working, just that you embrace discomfort somehow. For me, that means fully embracing another culture and their norms. The typical Paris holiday includes jamming as many tourist attractions in as you can so you’re constantly running about to adhere to a schedule that includes too much and eating mediocre croque-madames at tourist-trap cafes by the Eiffel Tower or the Norte-Dame.
