A few days ago, I found myself wondering if my desire to leave the country isn't becoming an obsession, and if my preferred destination of North America isn't blinding me.
I'm worried that the obsession is keeping my brain from seeing all the options that I have, and I might end up doing too little of anything constructive.
Amidst my worries, I found myself wondering if obsession might not be what led to great discoveries and inventions, successful enterprises and dreams coming true. After all, obsession makes terrific motivation. Scientists live and breath obsession, and they come up with great discoveries and creations. Musicians immerse themselves in music, and they make music that remain well-loved even after they pass on.
If I obsess over a dream, it probably increases the likelihood of me making it come true. It is hugely silly to have such a dream, but people can't control what they obsess about, can they?
Then I guess the logic dictates that I can't control the destination that stole my attention as well.
In the meantime, most of what I do will have a common denominator in terms of purpose and motivation.
