LeBron James is continuing to play basketball at an elite level, and the sports world is tracking his journey toward 50,000 career points. I sat down and tried to calculate if I had done 50,000 of *anything* in my entire life. The only thing I have done 50,000 times is heavily sigh while refreshing a browser tab.
A Monument to Consistency
LeBron’s consistency is an insult to my procrastination. He has spent two decades dominating professional athletes. I have spent two decades trying to remember the password to my old Yahoo email account. We are not the same species.
Stop Achieving Things
Every time he scores a basket, my internal monologue screams, “We get it, you’re better than me!” I need him to retire so the bar for human achievement can lower back down to a more manageable level. My ego cannot take much more of this greatness.
