INTEREST
What
really flips your switch? What is it that you
love to do? If you had one day to spend
doing anything you wanted, what would it be?
Don’t be flip about this. Think
about it. How do you spend your time and do you enjoy spending it that way? If we do not develop interest in what we
spend most of our time doing, then we get bored and boredom leads to depression,
anxiety, and a multitude of other negative activities in our life.
What draws your attention is one way
to think about interest. If you are in a
room with different people, how do you choose which one to strike up a
conversation with? Or a very practical
level, check your closets and garage, how many unfinished projects have you
stuffed away somewhere? The real reasons
they are stuffed away is not because you ran out of time, but you did run out of
interest and as a result choose other activities over completing whatever that
is stuffed in your closet. Without
interest there is no motivation. No one
dates anyone that they are not interested in for very long unless perhaps the
non-interested person becomes interested in changing the person they are
dating. That is not interest in the
date; it is a clear invested interest in changing someone else into your own
image. So, be careful, interest is
tricky. But certainly by the end of
today, be able to list three different things that interest you. For instance, hiking, cooking, or your
favorite football team.
