1.       You simply have to do something. Either that, or remain ignorant. This means discomfort to some of us. Like, I don’t really want to put a photo of my mug on Social Media. But, it makes sense to do this and change it as necessary to represent truth in advertising. I’m not really a cute little mouse, with screwdriver in hand, so I’m going to leave my logo where it belongs, on my websites.

3.       You may have to learn something new. Great – so, now, I get to start with that feeling of inadequacy, prior to the exhilaration of a sparkling new accomplishment.

5.       Oh, great! I couldn’t resist the scroll down and now she’s telling me to take a break. So, this one has all four of the above great reasons. Something I have to do, that will take some time, will definitely be something new, and I have to stop the daily grind. She may be right.
