Simple question about mental state

To answer your question, I don't really stay sharp all the time. I am not on all the time. Theres a lot of time when I'm in my own head. Even if I can pause for 30 seconds, be on my own for 30 seconds, I can then collect my thoughts and be "on" for an hour.

Being "on" in the classical sense isnt really about being on. Its about being on when people are paying attention. Nobody cares what you're doing 99% of the time, but if you can engage people for a minute you can leave more of an impression than if I'm babbling on for an hour not really paying attention.

When I feel like I'm floating out of conversation, I step back, get a drink, go to the bathroom, whatever it may be, and collect my thoughts.

What am I doing? What is the purpose of what I'm doing? How am I going to get from where I am now to where I want to be?

Without actively knowing the answers to those questions, its easy to wander through life as an observer rather than an active participant.

Nobody else cares about your goals. The only way you're going to get that job, to get that girl, or to get any other goal is if you identify it and lay out how you're going to get there.

Dude. That's third-person mode. Press R2 while holding the Select button to change camera angles. Also, don't forget to save your progress.
