Little kids get confused about this… just add a few more to a very big number, and you have infinity.

Actually, infinity is a feeling and a concept built on the presumption that it can never be reached.

In a metrics-driven world, infinity is a dangerous thing to wish for, because it can never be achieved.

Exactly how many followers/sales/resources/compliments would be enough? If you’re always demanding a few more than whatever you have, you’re signing up for a journey that never ends.

If the journey itself is sustaining you, there’s nothing wrong with insisting that it go on and on. But be careful what you’re trading away, because infinity will never arrive. That’s the point.
