I think the key word is “currently”. As long as you know that it isn’t a permanent, then everything will be okay. And yes, that does make you optimistic.

@Davey — Thanks! It was a fun exercise to see how we would approach the subject without any rules or guidelines.

@xibee — Did the article help then?

@Pearl — Hahahh…I never would have seen baseball as an analogy, but I think you’re right. For some players, it must be 10 minutes of waiting for 30 seconds of excitement. But in the proper circumstances, the excitement, the inspiration, is worth it.

Like the look at meta-assumptions. True enough, one is most motivated and energized when being “in it for #1″. It’s got an element like baseball. You have position yourself with alert mental agility, waiting expectation that you will catch inspiration even if it hasn’t happened yet.

It’s not there all the time but when when it comes into your area of outfield, you’ve got to call it and run for it. It doesn’t always fall in your glove and you don’t have to change sport to get it.
