Shiny objects have replaced sanity in most people’s minds. This article is brilliant. Thank you.

So highly to the point I was trying to formulate today, on how to write on the internet more regularly but on a "topic" not yet so clear. Especially as I have multiple interests ! But no they really are "shiny objects". I will try to get clearer on the "topic of fascination" fit for me. I would still love an eclectic approach though. Thanks for the inspiration.

Well said. This also requires us to develop more self-confidence and self-belief that we are indeed capable of pursuing and eventually succeeding in our genuine interests and ambitions.

I disagree my friend - confidence comes after doing, rarely before.

That is true. Though I do feel that to take action in the first place we do need a certain level of confidence and belief in ourselves.

This is also true, but I do believe that we can only have self belief in ourselves if we have taken prior action.

Thanks Camille - chemical reactions in the metaphorical sense. Hence I said 'like.'
