I am in full support of your statements. But let me add or underline something (even though you most likely know this). The path that you propose is not an easy one. It is a discipline that you can choose to take on. The muscle analogy is apt. A lot of folks know they need more exercise, but doing so on a consistent basis seems an elusive thing. But like any exercise or discipline, failure is almost a built-in pitfall. When failure happens, as it will from time to time, you can fall back to your original commitment, and allow that too. It's ok to fail as well. What now? Just get back on the horse and continue to exercise those muscles. Forgive my soup of mixed metaphors.
