It is not always easy to judge how much an activity will benefit you going by how much you want to do it beforehand. It is not always as simple as exercising and eating your vegetables either. Shit's complex.

I describe it like each of our brains has a long, detailed, and customized user manual -- but we don't get a copy. We can choose to attempt to reverse engineer that manual if we have the right motivation.
