When living out our daily lives, we’re often bombarded with too many choices from different things around us, telling us what’s good for us and how we can improve ourselves. It soon becomes apparent that the amount of choices we’re offered from our society can be too overwhelming, which causes us to stop dead in our tracks. This becomes detrimental to our overall growth as individuals since the key to growing and becoming a better person is through clarity and knowing what you want. 各种各样的选择充斥着我们的日常生活，它们牵制着我们，告诉我们怎样提高自我。但很快，社会加之给我们的大量选择就崩盘了，我们也随之消糜在摸索的道路上。那些选择也就成了我们成长的累赘，而向前进步，超越自我的真正关键在于头脑清晰地知道自己所需所求。 This is a problem I’ve personally had to face on a number of occasions, and didn’t know what to do with my life for a long time.
