"In our contemporary culture, we take it for granted that maximizing the amount of options you have is solely a good. But what if that’s not true?" There is this inspiring tiktok video from professionnal explorer Mike Horn (https://bit.ly/3eNSbe4). He basically says that when you have too many options, and try one and fail, then try another one, etc. then you don't actually move forward, but sideways. When you have only one single option, then your engagement is total, you give 100%. Btw my wife disagrees :-) What about you?

Mmm. I think the bigger issue is not trying any of them at all. You want to be discerning with what you try but don't let "being discerning" keep you from trying. This is at a level of abstraction that's not helpful but it's easy to ignore the opportunities in front of you in your pursuit of more and more opportunities.
