I have worked for over 25 years in an office full of successful, driven people (OK, not 100% full, I'm there). Not a day goes by where I don't interface with multiple people who I consider to be more successful, secure and happy than I am. Their children go to better schools, they take more and better vacations, and their spouses are more supportive.

Really, I should have changed jobs, if not careers, years ago. But that would require me to create a resume with my impressive accomplishments and to tell prospective employers that they will be lost without my magnificent insights and experience. That I cannot do, because I don't believe it.

The MAOIs do not help with these perceptions, but they keep me on task so that I can continue to churn out marginally useful work product that keeps groceries on the table.

There is more, but there would be no point in typing it.
