We have to feel that we have the freedom to go in another direction, to stop and change. again, it's just too grim otherwise. And again, I just never liked it when I hear people say, well, I would do this or that except for my family. And it's like, no, no, your family is the reason that you do make another decision because you do have those responsibilities.
And you know that you being a whole person, you know, on your way, to a new way of living and a brighter frame of mind, that is your responsibility. So, I mean, I kind of see it from the other way around. And I do think of it as a very practical strategy.

I would never say that one thing is going to work out over all the others. Again, this is just a plea, a kind of an earnest, innocent plea to say, it's okay.

And you're like me in graduate school, that terrible night when I decided I just couldn't make it another moment. I mean, I was 19 years old and I truly was at a, Was that a terrible point, kind of a psychological waterloo? I mean, I don't know what would have happened to me if I'd stayed. I had to get out of there. And we all know that feeling. Everybody knows that feeling.

Very, very, very few people. ever deeply regretted something that they gave up on or quit and looked back on and said, oh, if I just hadn't done that, far, far more often was, I so wish I'd quit earlier.
