But then “I think” and even “I guarantee” is not a guarantee at all. How many times have you (honestly) thought you would like to do something, but then, when the moment is there, only realized that your heart is not in it? Or, on the contrary, you didn’t think that you would like it, but tried nevertheless to discover that this is your new passion? For better or for worse, life is too complex and too many factors are at play in any given time to try and establish some set-in-stone rules.

I have often wondered when holding on to something and going to the very end is an example of one’s steadfastness and stability and when it is merely a sign of rigidness and not being flexible? In the end, isn’t it the survival of the fittest?
