We can all tell… the body is still there, but the mind is gone, at least for now. Unfortunately, this happens in real life. At work. In our personal lives. For a few minutes or even a decade or more. We stop noticing. We fail to appreciate. Most of all, we stop making decisions. Sheepwalking. You probably don’t need a medical intervention. Instead, we simply have to find the guts to wake up. Choice brings responsibility, and responsibility is often accompanied by fear. That’s okay. You can’t run a marathon without getting tired, and you can’t do important work when you’re asleep. PS thanks to everyone who responded to [yesterday’s post](feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/sethsblog/posts/~. We sold way more than half of the limited-edition boxes in less than a day. I apologize that international ordering didn’t work in the morning, but the problem is now fixed. Thanks for your patience.
