Have you heard the Alan Watts talk on Nothingness? I find it to be a good motivator on the days when I accidentally slip in to the mindset you describe. For the most part, I think I'm pretty good at being highly motivated and in the moment but there are times when I fall in to the abyss of complacency. -Life's too short for such things! Good luck with that technology!! Let me know when you've thought of what that might be.
Thanks for that link! I didn't quite understand what he meant with "Nothing" until later in the video, but it is indeed a good motivator and great insight! Thanks for sharing! I try my best to remain in this somewhat "enlightened"/motivated/"in the moment" state of mind, but I find it hard to maintain all the time. I usually have periods where I'm in that state and periods where I'm totally being carried away with daily things that don't really matter. My biggest difficulty is during the year at uni, life just tends to flash by in an instant without really paying attention to it. Though I intend to try and maintain it even when life gets busy again soon..! Hope it's alright if I revive some of the older hubski posts!
I'm enjoying this discussion, I don't think any topics are closed off just because someone already posted about them. I can't speak for the whole of Hubski but as far as I'm concerned... bring on the revival!
