“Do I contradict myself? Very well then. I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.” - Walt Whitman
I love tracking, focusing and learning. I delve into these ideas, enjoy them and gain new perspectives. It feels right.
Ideas give me zeal.
Periodically, when I feel bored, tired or limited by an idea, I discard it. I may come back to it. I may not.
Ideas can set us free or confine us. I yearn to continually renew.
It starts with ideas.
Sometimes I’ll find harmony with the opposite of what I’ve been doing. I let myself be unfocused and undisciplined for a while or start learning something and quit. This feels right too.
Contrast is powerful. In art, music and yes, even in learning.
Sometimes stopping and hitting reverse is just what the doctor ordered.
Changing current ideas regularly keeps it fresh. This is alternating current.
- Try one idea.
- Stop.
- Do the opposite.
- Repeat.
Come back to an idea only if it becomes enticing or useful again. There is no need to commit to ideas.
Am I contradicting myself in these posts?
Have I failed to make sense?
That’s because I contain multitudes.
And so do you.
