Question:Self Reflection

How do I foster my own desire to act on what I learn? How does one foster feelings of anticipation, excitement, joy to motivate? What components are important to successfully take into action what one learns? If I have not changed my live and improved the world around me, what would be the point? How do I synthesize and structure the next steps in the process of healing myself?

How can solitude today constitute the right environment for thinking, doing and feeling today but not tomorrow, in the next phase of our lives, when we are living in assisted living facilities?

 What gives? Why can we loose our ability to use solitude constructively?

Relationships in Flow

"Most important, in flow, the relationship between what a person had to do and what he could do was perfect. The challenge wasn’t too easy. Nor was it too difficult. It was a notch or two beyond his current abilities, which stretched the body and mind in a way that made the effort itself a delicious reward. The balance produced a degree of focus and satisfaction that easily surpassed other, more quotidian, experiences. In flow, people lived so deeply in the moment, and felt so utterly in control, that their sense of time, place, and even self melted away.”
