It's far too easier to be driven by the things you haven't done and drive yourself into the ground, than to celebrate how far you've come.

"This is particularly true is you are on a purposeful detour from following your dreams, to acquire knowledge or money or something or all those things. It's hard to say how much is enough to start following your dream while you have your head buried in not-your-dream. 'To a worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish.' Remember to get perspective." -Ben

"While in pain, it's hard to want more than for the pain to stop. People in this position will typically have a general notion of what they'd like to do instead (travel, write, start a business, play music, etc), and while that idea has power to them, the idea that they want change tends to eclipse any particular vision for what the change should be." -Ben When you're so focused on taking that next step it can be impossible to tell what you want that step to be.

Above words from Ben...Well, I find lunch to be a difficult decision at times. However, this is primarily due to the apathy of my team. It's hard to make a decision you don't care about. It's hard to get alignment on something no one cares about. My latest tactic is to start walking towards food and make up my mind on my way their. Then I propose it "we're right next to ThatPlace, let's go there!" and so far it's had a 100% success ratio.

People be weird. They've got their own shit going on all the time, so when something weird comes your way, make sure it's good information before acting."
