It's funny how the process redefines the goal. I begin a task with an objective in mind (a career path, physically creating something, writing something, anything really), but along the way reality chips away at the either a) the perceived value of the original goal, or b) the perception of how easily the goal can be attained (the cost). Either way, the scale tends to slowly tip more and more towards the cost side as we move further from theory and closer to reality. Once it passes the "breakeven" point, the goal is dropped, right?
However, something else happens along the way. So maybe the original goal was scrapped due to one of the above, but we then are able to re-define a new goal based on either a) a more realistic appreciation of future value, or b) a more realistic estimate of the cost to attain that value.
I know this is nothing ground-breaking here, but it's just interesting how many places in life this happens.
As usual, my rantings can summed up in a simple cliche, such as "live and learn", but I still think its interesting to write it all out. I mean heck, I opened up this page to write about something entirely different, but ended up with this.
