Indeed. I'm like a problem solving machine that doesn't quite know what the problem is.
Games are great because there is always a way to optimise something relative to your goal. There are also fixed rules. Once you know how the game world works, you can make some very clear decisions. You know what will work and what will not. You know what is effective and what it not.
I have zero idea of what is effective in life (really, in the scheme of things, my current knowledge is insignificant; I believe there's a level of operation outside of this current level of being, but it feels a bit far off. I have no idea how I could reach it). The search space is just too large. Sure, I could try lots of things, but that takes lots of time and sometimes resources.
So far most good decisions I've made I've been able to make by a combination of research and drawing on my experience and what I guess you could call my intuition (basically, my connection to life). I'm getting better at exercising all of these, but this is one area where I feel I need to step up and go beyond my current level of thinking.
What is that thinking, though? I look outside for answers because that's how my talents work--my activator talent theme causes me to think that doing and then optimisation is the path that leads to success. That's how I see the world, and it works. In this case, it's just a matter of finding people who have the result, so I can relate it to myself (which I'm good at doing; I'm able to do that myself easily), and then optimise my actions.

Interesting thread.
I cheated a little and got an intuitive read on it since I can't remember my thoughts about it when I read it, ha (my brain tends to strip specific thoughts down to essential concepts that are inherently difficult to express really quickly).
It seems chopsaw, the poster of that thread, is on his path. I do not feel like that is my path. Compartmentalisation is something that keeps coming up in my life. This is the second time (although it's probably been many more times, they just weren't very poignant), almost as if the universe is testing to see whether I'll dive in and learn a lesson, or hold my ground. Testing me, essentially. For now, I hold my ground. I feel my commitment will pay off, it's just a matter of being fully committed. What that entails, I'm not sure.
