The tricky part is when you realize this and then how to wind yourself out without entrenching yourself further.

This is where I am after a 4 year ago wakeup call. Maybe it's even longer. Maybe it's after thousands of lifetimes. Regardless the alarm has gone off.

Every day is the realization that I don't need this. The "this" is something new that I just don't need. Then there is the mess. I don't need this either but how do I get rid of this. Here is where all the old school motivation books come into play.

The situation is even more humorous when you don't have the track record to show you know something and you want to help others not to get caught. This is when you put on the oxygen mask before you help others get theirs on. Plane is going down. Increase your chances of survival and success. With success you'll be much more helpful. With good ideas your just another talking head.
