Lately I've been struck by a new experience. I've gone from 100 to 1 when it comes to commitment to a few areas of life--areas that I was fully committed to, perhaps even obsessed with. It's as if you have a big bank account of energy, zest, and passion for something one day and the next day the account is empty. I have never experienced such a dramatic drop in interest and commitment like this.
Why has this happened?
First, I believe that old interests have been replaced by new passions and interests. It is similar to moving from one interest to another--when that new interest comes along, you mostly forget the past interest. That's what has happened.
Next, this feels bigger than me. It's not rational and difficult to explain. In some ways, it feels as if I've been overtaken by this change--curious.
And, perhaps, I simply used up the interest and energy for the past interests, and now it's time to move on.
Whatever the reason, the reality of investment change has occurred, and it is time to embrace the new paths--a most curious and somewhat serendipitous path, one I have never traveled before. Onward.
