The D1 athlete hiring comparison is sharp. Investment firms aren't just after raw talent, they want people who've internalized the grind of daily reps wether they feel motivated or not. Spiritual reading as practice rather than passive consumption makes alot of sense - treating it like drills instead of entertainment. I've noticed that when my mental space gets chaotic, discernment becomes almost impossible. The calm water metaphor tracks with my experience trying to make decisions under stress vs quiet reflection.
