The times when I learn the most is when I'm FORCED to. When there's no going back and everything is weighing on me figuring it out.

Trying to think how I can engineer more of those experiences

We overuse the word 'want' in Western society.

Unless you act on it, you don't ACTUALLY want it. A part of you does, but a part of you doesn't.

Until you act, it's just a wish.

I will keep it on the back burner until it does.
