Interesting theory. But what about being yourself and not wanting to change the world. Isn't there a "I'm great, so are you" stage in here somewhere ? :)

(I'd want to be there. Changing the world is too much work)

I have a couple of theories on who the Stage 5 person may be :)

A book I am reading defines that individuals are at one of the following stages:
Stage 1: Life sucks
Stage 2: My life sucks
Stage 3: I am great (you are not)
Stage 4: We are great but with an enemy (rival group or a company.
Stage 5: Let's change the world.

Most of the people I know oscillate between Stage 2 and 3 (including yours truly.) It is a rare treat to work with someone at Stage 4 and an honor to work with someone at Stage 5.

I think amongst the people we know their is one person who might be at Stage 5. Can you guess who am I thinking about? :)

I think paralysis by analysis afflicts the best of us. For me, these phases of gloom come and go. I'm learning to head them off early by facing the issue head-on. It can be unpleasant, especially if other parties are involved but saves a lot of grief in the long term.

I have bouts of 'whining', and in both categories (perhaps in more!). I have to drag myself out of them. It's difficult.

I don't know about big quests, tho'; I'd be happy to know if I was even made for smaller quests! :-)

But yes, each day is an education - unfortunately, I (probably) get to do this only once, so I need to listen, learn, apply, and get on with it.

For me, the most difficult thing is to "do", rather than "think". It helps to know that others grapple with such issues too.
