Your audacious life goals are fabulous. We're proud of you for having them. But it's possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that's really frightening you--the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself.

If you're not the best in the world at what you do, then you have to get better.
Seth Godin
Image
The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.
Seth Godin

All the good things in my career are a direct descendant of what I did and learned at # camp

Or, if I take that same auditorium and I make it much bigger and put more space between seats, it'll be quieter because it's much harder when you're not in physical contact with people to spread a virus from person-to-person, right? There are all sorts of patterns that we see in epidemiology that help us understand why something spreads.
