I used to believe and say I was detailed oriented and had to find out everything about a sport, subject or piece of technology if I became interested. That it was a good thing.
Now, I believe I allow myself to be
consumed by the quest, research or interest.
I am not sure that is a good thing. When I am consumed by work, my family and health suffer. When I am consumed by a new bike or such, my wallet suffers. When I am consumed by fretting or worry, my mental health suffers.
I must learn balance and faith. Being consumed is not so fun anymore...
