Or is it just better to focus on the process and just go get a JOB?

Justifying irrationality due to pride, and self-deception based on ego are the enemies of civilian survival. Six things I learned going through this process.

1. Honesty isn't painful.
2. This is not used to showcase faults.
3. It doesn't create reality, it reveals it.
4. It's not a revelation but an incremental journey of discovery.
5. It's a private journey that no one sees.
6. REDUCES potential for failure.

If you would like some guidance on this journey I suggest you look at "The Prior Service Entrepreneur-The Fundamentals Of Veteran Entrepreneurship." You can get an author-inscribed copy. It was a key factor in this civilians survival through PTSD and the transition journey.

Don't let the title fool you. The first 2/3 of the book deals with developing the "Optimal Mindset for Success. This was written by a veteran for veterans.
