The fact that I am a "scanner" personality type and that I should accept that about myself rather than try to change myself to fit more conventional lifestyles. A scanner is someone who finds interest in a wide variety of topics but often becomes bored with it once you understand it sufficiently.
Rather than taking the advice that I need to focus on one thing or else I'm going to fail at life, I've come to realize that I can keep progressing on my "main thing" (in my case, tech), and continue to dive into whatever topics tickle my fancy without guilt. Right now it is energy and power, maybe next it'll be astronomy, and then accounting after that.
In the end it means my mind will be able to make more connections and I'm more "well read", and more importantly it means my enjoyment of life goes way up.
It seems this personality type isn't super common, though I imagine many of you here are the same way. So if you, like me, always felt guilty about these "phases" of interests, don't! Embrace it and you'll live a happier and more interesting life.
