> Better, I don't feel guilty about the stuff I don't finish.

I think this is key, and demonstrates the real personal growth, which is more valuable than being able to finish things per-se.

It's the old saw: "what's the hardest thing? To know oneself."

There's a lot of eagerness to jump on bandwagons and do whatever the motivational speakers recommend, but you're not going to find the answers specific to you until you look inside yourself.

Anyway, in short: I agree (:

I'd also add: the reasons and mindset can change not just from project to project, but from day to day as well. Very context-dependent (at least in my experience).
