The In-Between Rule

Why life's unplanned moments often matter more than the destinations

Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly newsletter where I provide hard truths about what actually works. No fluff, no theory, no nonsense.

I've been thinking about the spaces in between.

Not the milestones.

Not the destinations.

Not the achievements.

But everything else.

The Vacation Truth

We plan around the beach.

The resort.

The landmark.

The destination.

But what do we actually remember?

The Memorable Parts

The random roadside discovery.

That breakfast spot you found by accident.

The conversation with the fascinating stranger.

The deep thoughts that surfaced in silence.

The lazy afternoon doing nothing at all.

What We Miss

These moments never make the itinerary.

They don't appear on the brochure.

They're rarely worthy of the photo album.

But they're often what made it all worthwhile.

Life Works The Same Way

We aim for milestones.

Plan for achievements.

Anticipate arrivals.

But life happens in the transitions.

In the spaces between where you were

And where you thought you needed to be.

What I've Noticed

The unplanned coffee with a friend.

The detour that became the highlight.

The conversation that shifted everything.

The quiet moment that brought clarity.

None of these were the destination.

All of them mattered more.

Your Move

The next time you're focused only on arriving,

Look around at where you actually are.

The in-between spots make life great.

Not because they're impressive.

But because they're where life actually happens.
