So stilted though-is that a gag? I find myself processing the love as well as loving the process. analysis paralysis, or the opposite of Just Fucking Do It. :) How do you manage to live while still being extremely responsive? Timeboxing doesn't seem time enough. Demetri Martin is awesome. So stilted though-is that a gag?

Right now I walk dogs during the day and soon I will be waiting tables at a really nifty neighborhood cafe in the evening. Neither job is "glamorous", but they're active and fun and I make enough money to pay my bills, and I find them way more intellectually stimulating than sitting at a desk shuffling papers around all day. If I had to sit in a cubicle to raise money for this project, I probably wouldn't be doing the project at all.

If you love the goal but hate how to get there, you will likely never make it to the goal. It's why most people want to be healthy and fit but end up never losing that weight or getting the body they want - they hate dieting and they hate exercising, and so eventually they give up.

It may very well be our DNA. Accepting failure and moving on. It's difficult not to take failure personally, but it's essential to just let things roll off our backs to be successful. That said, everything can be learned and everyone can enjoy the process. As I mention in the article, if you're not enjoying the process it simply means you're probably doing something you shouldn't be doing. No worries. Just keep taking action until you find something that absolutely engulfs every ounce of your being. Thanks for making me think. :) Karol Hi Paula,

Do you think that people who have always had the ability of obtaining what they want, even from an early age, have DNA (to use Gary Vaynerchuk's expression) that is different enough than others' that allow things to come more easily to that person, including the ability (internal strength) to convince themselves to enjoy the process (by doing things like writing letters to their future selves, or actually slowing down enough and being open enough (strong enough) to meditate, etc.)? Simply put, do you think the act of enjoying the process is something everyone can do or do you think people need to have a certain characteristic to really pull that off? I always like to hear people's motives (which usually comes in the form of their own defined legacy) that describes their process in recognizing that the things they've experienced would be of benefit to others, giving a more (appealing) in-depth reason for why they have positioned themselves to help (wo)mankind, and also perhaps as a measure of credibility.
