A Dilemma: The Dichotomy in Motivational Patterns

Posted on 12 January, 2010 at 3:48pm with no comments

Had a lit­tle bit of a thought that has been tak­ing shape the last few days… mostly be ask­ing the ques­tion, what moti­vates me? or what moti­vates you?

I sup­pose there is a giant amount of infor­ma­tion on this topic, I could totally go to board­ers and get a entire shelf of books on how this stuff hap­pens. But seri­ously, every­thing aside

What moti­vates you?

the symmetry of defiance and compliance

Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 12:01pm with no comments

Sat­ur­day night I went to a con­cert. Melody and rhythm and the good­ness they entail were in bounty.  Music did what it ought to do that night and got my mind work­ing. Think­ing and pro­gress­ing thoughts in and out of con­nec­tions between mem­o­ries and trails of things I’ve learned through 21 years of mis­take making.

At one point in the con­cert I was the most struck with a inter­est­ing thought.

The pianist was evok­ing some thoughts about bal­ance that were trail­ing my thoughts into sym­me­try. I was run­ning through images of the most sym­met­ri­cal things I have ever seen. Then the vocal­ist sang the word defi­ance and this pic­ture got stuck in my head that cre­ated this phrase “the sym­me­try of defi­ance and compliance”

I had a few more thoughts today and we should call them, think­ing vs doing part two.

I am pretty sure that my favorite part about hav­ing a web­site is being able to con­stantly cre­ate dif­fer­ent ways of word­ing things and hook­ing things together. If I am never able to become a rac­ing yachts­man when I grow up I def­i­nitely want to be a wordsmith.

I wrote a post a few days ago while I was think­ing about the prob­lems aris­ing from an unbal­anced flow of think­ing and doing in a per­sons life.  The per­son who thinks their way in and out of loops and becomes par­a­lyzed at the thought of doing.  Or the per­son who does things with­out account­ing for the winds direc­tion, the reper­cus­sions or the power lines beneath the soil.

But there was some­thing I did not regard in the last post that plays an ever increas­ing role in the deci­sion mak­ing process, espe­cially in the life of the saint.

Today was a super nor­mal day.

Ate some sand mixed with salt water, spent money on food, shared knowl­edge of alge­bra 2, had a headache.

But about 4 min­utes ago some­thing good happened.

I saw this video.

I have had a few things brew­ing in the brain­waves about posts that actu­ally require some thinking.

If you have any expe­ri­ence with some  word­press code re-writing let me know, get­ting in a bit over my head with g-a-l from suprb.
