That's exactly it. It's about adjusting dreams to fit circumstances. For someone like me who becomes very attached to their expectations, it can feel like failure or giving up to make that adjustment. But when I cool down and give myself a chance to get perspective I can better see things for what they are.
It's a matter of the pursuit of being antifragile and as flexible as possible while being true to my principles
That's a lot of truth for one small sentence.
Thanks for the comment.
