there's a great deal i can do, if i set my mind to it.

maybe that's all the more reason why i should think hard about what i want to accomplish. a friend once said, "to respond to the first interesting or attractive opportunity you come across simply because 'it exists' could be to close the door that leads to some other far more suitable future."

maybe i shouldn't dangle myself on the horns of a dilemma all day. maybe i should look for a less exciting but more useful way to proceed.
