Life in the Goff Lane

I like to move fast. Like 1980's drug use fast.
-I think I am in Work Mode 85% of my conscious life.

Work Mode - time dominated by that barely containable zest for getting shit done!

I am a goal oriented person. Someone who didn't understand me might call me a dreamer. Yet, I find it difficult to set goals without feeling the need to reach them. So what does that make me? A dreamer with a strong work ethic?

I've been in too many situations where I've put in effort to the point of complete emotional involvement, only to see it fail, or have to quit before it has peaked.

Why is the "gifted" creator, the hard worker, the person who puts the success of their ideas, regardless of motivation, as priority-one seen as a selfish man?

I reference the protagonists of Atlas Shrugged & Arrested Development, odd that they would share a common theme, to support the exception to this stereotype.

Possible labels that someone may use for me in this mode: trite, bull headed, irresponsible, impulsive. If I am unhappy about something, I fix it.

Key ideas.
Most things die before you can get sick of them.
Don't procrastinate when your happiness is on the line.

Question for next time.
Does the over-categorizing of life lead to an ultimate disinterest in it?
