“My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self of the chains that shackle the spirit.” - Igor Stravinsky, Poetics of Music
Constraints provide more freedom by allowing you to focus your efforts on what matters instead of being mentally blocked by a web of infinite possibilities.
