The question that can come up here is "How far are you willing to go for the things you want?" People can be more inclined to set definitive values on items determining worth. We're also more likely to have benchmarks for acceptable progress in our personal relationships or when we're doing activities. It's very much a mindset that if "I don't get to X point, this is insufficient", and anything insufficient right now might as well be worthless.

The real challenge is that most things aren't going to meet our parameters for success or worth. We're always going to be aiming a little higher than what's possible. Those who can break free of these "make or break" points (most of which will be arbitrary and self-defined) are going to be much better off. This is one of those charts where any progress in the right direction is still progress. So don't talk yourself out of a good thing. Be reasonable and things will tend to work out for you. Best of luck.

This is a period where you can have a good feeling about the things you've invested in. But in the end, what's the basis for your good vibes? Is there something concrete to fall back on, or is it just optimism? That's important because you might want to think twice before doubling down on anything here. Some of the things you've put time and effort into recently might not fit your end goals as nicely as you thought they would initially, so you might want to maximize flexibility if you're continuing on with them.
