Atom on Ambition
This morning, via Robin Laws's LiveJournal, I read Atom Egoyan's golden rules, as published in MovieMaker magaazine. His second rule was the one that really struck me:
Don't get depressed about not being where you want to be. This nagging feeling of anxiety is actually called ambition. Ambition is your friend.

I myself quite enjoy having this friend who makes me feel like shit all the time.
His point had the opposite effect on me — it ran a particularly virulent bit of recent self-loathing to the ground.
But hey, extending the opportunity to help people feel like shit's just one more of the free services jefftidball.com provides! Always glad to be of service!
