Music: Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics
Its been a while since i found anything interesting that really makes me stop and think. Then today, i came across an article on “micro-motives”. Its basically understanding the little subtle things about ourselves, our motivation, our way of thinking, our own little drivers.. that makes us fulfilled, content. And why the need? To find our best self, to find that specific thing that would make us happy.. and hopefully lead to our success in whatever, by our own terms and definition of achievement. And how to figure out our micro-motives? By observing other people, which leads to that first impression and judgement that we all have of everybody around us.. but the focus is not on these people that we observe and judge, but on the judgment that we make, especially that first split of a second, coz that would reveal things about ourselves that we may have never paid attention to before. Ive said in my previous post that i’m extremely self aware.. but now this article is suggesting that i can make use of that self awareness in a different way.. and get more out of it. In my never ending quest to find fulfillment (ive been stagnant and unsatisfied for quite a while now, looking for the next thing to keep me growing and focused, basically im drifting and been in a rut and clearly already in the danger zone of complacency), this could probably help direct my search in some way. Nobody and nothing gets me excited anymore. The bar that I unconsciously set keeps getting higher i suppose.. i meet new people i get new projects but they’re just not enough and satisfying.. im so bored all the time, its getting harder to impress myself. Maybe, just maybe, if i can deep dive on my micro-motives and understand myself better, i can get rid of this utter laziness and lack of motivation thats been pervading every cell in my body, and then finally, hopefully, find my groove again.
