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 can be a more difficult period for you because there won't be as many cut-and-dried solutions out there. You can tend to get hung up on past events more frequently than normal, but these things aren't helping you out in the present. You're also unlikely to gain any insight from them that help your present mindset on things either. As you try to figure things out, you might need to open your mind up to some pretty significant changes to the way you operate day-to-day. This might not be convenient, but such changes could be better for you in the long run.
