I don't know about you, but I love, Love, LOVE when I am all fired up and head-over-heels involved in a project. Those are some of the times when I truly feel alive. Those are the times when I am truly 150% in the game. I have boundless energy, and I find it hard to sleep. I am so excited about what I am doing every day. Some real "tells" that I am in that sweet spot? I am excited and eager. I talk to everyone and anyone about what I am working on. The project becomes a theme that is woven into my analogies and thoughts. I find it hard to put this project that I am passionate about down, and I find myself drawn back to it again and again and again.
I also love, Love, LOVE when others are in this space as well. I find that I can vicariously experience the exact same feelings and energy through sharing in someone else's immersion in what they are passionate about. I ride the excitement of the wave they create through emoting and sharing. I find myself anticipating spending time with them around what they are working on. I am willing to help, encourage, and support as I thrill at their progress, and learnings. It's like Dr Seuss said, "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
I love, Love, LOVE when reality is better than my dreams!
Collaboration, learning, problem solving, creative solutions, out of the box thinking, contemplative time, investigating parallel worlds and comparative approaches; identifying patterns, trends and indicators - all come into play FULLY engaging my mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes break-throughs come from logical progression; sometimes break-throughs come from making new connections between previously disassociated ideas; sometimes break-throughs seem to appear like manna from heaven. It is a wonderfully dynamic and magical process - a melding and molding of givens and discoveries into hew patterns and understandings. It is brilliantly transformational.
