A few months ago I did an exercise where I wrote down every desire that came into my head. Regardless of whether I thought the desire was good or bad, sensible or silly, I wrote it down, without judgment. It was a good brain clearing exercise i must say. After doing that, I felt released.
Next, I was come up with a plan, identify projects, apply time management, find motivation, list goals, work towards milestones.
Instead, strangely, I find myself empty of desire. I do what I want each day. Little has anything to do with the desires I listed. People call me up and offer me work, and I'll say "yes" or "no" depending on whether it's sensible work for me to do. I enjoy watching the sunlight falling upon the brick buildings. I talk to people, and I have a great curiosity. They may insult me, or praise me, or be resistant, or be upset. None of these affect me, I'm just become more curious, I become more fascinated.
What's interesting is that without the noise and clutter in my mind, I can hear more subtle signals. I can hear the small voice in my mind that suggests perhaps what I should be doing is helping people through the singularity, and take it seriously.
