DBing and MLC: why the label?

[JustStunned]

KD good thread! It seems you’ve put a burning punk to a touch hole. This is almost as busy as some of Denver’s threads although I think there are a few other recent additions that are as busy. The exchange of thoughts is what makes this valuable. YMMV

Although I’m still getting through a piece of self induced drama. After reading this thread, I’d like to post my two cents before it goes over 100 and gets locked.

I dislike labels I think they narrow thinking. I agree crisis’s occur at most any age and have some trigger or triggers. I do not think a crisis will always lead to what we think of as a MLC.

I think a trigger or triggers occur and cause the LC’er to begin their changes. I think some of them go completely into MLC land and other pull up short. Change is disruptive and can be painful and chaotic. No one knowingly does this to themselves and someone must be at fault, so who the focus of their wraith becomes? In my case I certainly contributed, but not to the extent I am held to account for.

How we act as this is occurring has much to do with the direction and depth it takes. There is no one approach that fits all, no cookie cutter approach. This society promotes to an extent the individual and that in itself negates a common one size fits all complete solution.

I try and keep in mind that no one sets out to make a bad decision. That the value of a decision is subjective and is often only revealed after the consequences of a decision have played out.

IMO a bad decision is the result of bad intel or a poor decision making process. A brain fogged in crisis has great difficulty processing either.
