Don't go to your deathbed, wishing you had taken a bolder approach. NO ONE goes to their deathbed saying:
1) "I wish I had spent more time at the office." or
2) "I wish I had taken LESS risk in my life."
Be wise, figure out the financial consequences and contingencies, and come up with a PLAN, and then EXECUTE YOUR plan. Us men, us "Martians," are planners/fixers/doers by nature. And yet in DB, we're told "Don't pursue," "Don't fix," don't etc.
And it frustrates us.
Well, the cool thing is that you can COME UP WITH A PLAN, and then set about to DOING THE PLAN. It keeps you busy, and keeps you feeling good about yourself. Just to pick one example: detachment. In a vacuum, it makes us feel like WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING. Well, when you can see where you're PURPOSELY doing it, as part of a PLAN . . . I found that helps.
