Retaining perspective

Post Reply New Topic

To achieve something, I need a perspective of what I'm doing and the willpower to go through the process. I have plenty of perspective, but it always ends up collapsing, because I haven't really achieved anything. Basically I'm the rat in the maze when the piece of cheese has been removed, or put outside the maze or something. Everyone learns more about life as they get older but after you reach a certain age the inner motor sort of peters out, and it's hard to apply new information to complete a process because you're out of fuel, so to speak. So you just keep collecting more and more information and eventually percieve that it's the information that is keeping you from following through on something.

Nothing changes from any period in life to another. I think the more information I have the more I'll be able to master the world but it's counterbalanced by loss of enthusiasm. If you're unhappy in elementary school you're unhappy for the rest of your life. Put a f*****g period on that.

People look at me funny when I tell them I'm no different than when I was in preschool – well funnier than they normally look anyway….

Same thoughts equate to the same actions.

Changing perspective is an intellectual process, I think.
