bonus: a flowchart of desire.

by bill reeb

i believe that every day, in a way, we do exactly what we want to do or what we desire. for instance, you might be frustrated by your present weight, but if you don’t change your eating habits or exercise regimen, then you clearly do not desire to lose weight.

without clear direction, every alternative seems like an opportunity. with direction comes a course of action, whether that is to preserve what you have or achieve something different. knowing what direction you want to head will drive the creation of a plan. and the greatest benefit of planning is that it provides you with a sanity check to know when you are drifting off course.

inertia can be like drifting, which actually describes what many people do. what i mean is, many people just do more of what they did yesterday to keep afloat, or robotically attempt the next incremental step forward from where they are right now. it is as if they are treading water working hard throughout life and just letting the current take them wherever it is going.
