Revelations...
Like...
You know you are old when songs you heard in your mid to late 20s are on the 'oldies' station....
You realise you are living to work...instead of working to live (or loving your work) - just like living to eat instead of eating to live...
I wonder at times when do we wake up and decide yeah, I've had enough...
Is it the final 'straw' with our boss? Is it the one-too-many argument with our mate or (insert family member you'd like to hack to pieces with an ax here)....
When do we say to ourselves: 'I'm mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore'?
Or is it more subtle - like we finally realise what we are 'suppose' to do with our lives and what really DOES matter instead of all the bullshit we usually surround ourselves with....
When? Why? How?
Just wondering....(as usual)....

A favorite question during most sessions of my self talk/self evaluation: "How much is enough?" And then I decide when to draw the line when "enough is enough" is apparent.
Your relationship with your boss? How much is enough? Keep this in mind during your interations. You'll know when enough is enough.
When I sit down to a meal, How much is enough? - a good reminder not to gorge myself with meaningless calories.
How much is enough? Good thought to keep on hand.
Oh yes, and I enjoyed your blog today.
For me it has always been a steady eroding process, and then I begin thinking about things and how to turn things around. When it comes to work though, it's almost always been too late to fix. The "final" decision to move on is always precipitated by some event - hospitalization counts as an event.
