Emotion and raw fear these days 😬

My biggest issue is my emotions and raw fear. Getting good information has to be my priority, I can’t be scared off at this point. Good knowledge comes embedded into a irrelevant noise. Filtering the signal from the noise isn’t easy.

The truth is I don’t have any other option. I have to move forward, continuing to gather as much knowledge, even if some of it is painful and I don’t want to hear. Trade-offs aren’t always pretty, but I should only give up what I won’t regret too much.

And I shouldn’t worry so much about loss or missing out. It’s not too late, unless I give up. Things can and will be better, once I have the knowledge, and the confidence to make it happen. I have the power of statistical knowledge, databases, and GIS on my side, even if in many ways things are stacked against me.
Plus I am having a lot of fun cruising the back roads, getting a lot of mud on my pickup.
