I’m intrigued by determined personalities, by those who have a particular goal or singular pursuit in life.

Intrigued because I don’t understand it. I’m not built that way, at least not for the long-term. Some people have the ability to build their life around a specific dream, every detail striving toward that final assumption. I maneuver in a wider circle, a track that jumps trains of thought and interests widely and quickly. I can focus my attention tightly for short term goals of various natures but devote my life to one single idea?

Maybe the fact that I’m currently in the middle of seven different books is a good example.

Or maybe the specific goal doesn’t have to be so specific, maybe an ideal is what exists, a goal focused on with a wider-angle lens.

Is a sense of curiosity and wonder enough? What greater gift do we receive than that of learning what it is to be human? We spend our entire lives attempting to understand the meaning behind our existence, our world as it relates to self and others, our hearts, our minds… Learning just how we tick - that’s an adventure I can focus my entire life on.
