Burn The Ships

Ever hit a turning point in life? I mean a real one; not just a New Year's, 'less donuts this year, ole chap'. I mean a time where you must stare yourself down in the mirror, and accept what is true, rather than a mansion built on comforting lies?

And now that you finally see with clarity, who you have become, and how far it falls short from what you value, what you dreamed or hoped for...you are faced with a choice:

That was a nice thought experiment, but who cares? Forget this nonsense. Everyone does this kinda stuff. It will be too painful, too much work, and nobody will support you.
Just relax and do what you always do...

Or

There will be no turning back. I will face myself, here and now and accept that I'm the one who built this person. It was my actions, and inactions that brought me to this place. I refuse to just go on breathing, and never truly living.

Go. Burn your ships.
