Coins In Outcome Space.

I was helping Keith set up his new place the other day, and he said something about being really glad he went to Berkeley. His reasoning was now he had low standards for housing, so any old place would be better than what he had.

Does perpetual below standard inputs eventually result in lowering standards?

I used to have ridiculously high aspirations for my life. Somewhere along the road I lowered them under the guise of there being other important things in life. Maybe I subconsiously lowered them because I knew I couldn't live up to those standards?

Here I am again, with some pretty lofty hopes and dreams for who I think I should be. Chances are I might not make it, but does that mean I should give up on those goals, find some lower ones to hit, and feel better about myself that I made my goals?

Of course the alternative, the other side of the coin, is to keep striving, never meet my goals, and feel incredibly disappointed in my life.

Have you ever flipped a coin and hoped it would land on it's side? Not head or tail, but side. Well, that's me.

Oh, and it turns out putting the lights in was much easier than I expected.
