Dear reader(s), I am not sorry. There will probably not be any more rapid updates. The three of you will just have to wallow in despair like a Song of Ice and Fire fan.
While looking at these other blogs, I noticed pattern that crops up in a lot of my most introspective friends. After a period of fruitful self analysis, it's easy to become a revelation junkie.
The journey to that point goes like this:
1. They feel a little down in life
2. They analyse themselves and come up with some insightful revelations
3. This gives a great buzz and after implementing them, their lives improve
4. They repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times
5. The laws of diminishing returns start to kick in.
After a while, the revelations become as small as "avocados have changed my life" but they still write and talk about them on the same level as "I made peace with who I am". Swarths of text and hours of conversation wind up focusing on the weekly in-vogue wisdom.
This in itself isn't a bad thing. Continuous improvement is good. But the newest revelation often shrouds the last one, and stops them from every finishing out a good plan.
It always amazes me how little you can do in a week and how much you can do in a year. When you make a plan, the start is easy but the end is where the results are.
Ideas and revelations are only the first step.
