Hear hear, and I appreciate the Jocko reference.
My own middle path has evolved out of many things, but I imagine the three most prominent are:
1. Delayed gratification as part of childhood upbringing
2. Training to silence the internal dialogue
3. Appreciation of the miniature
bonus:
4. Bach
I suspect these things have kept me from the alcoholism that is rampant in my family. I truly enjoy a few strong drinks a week, though sometimes I forget about alcohol for months or years.
