...through thick fog, i worked, because i had to, because there was a deadline, an audience, a performance, an evaluation, high stakes...
...what is it about high stake, and audience, and deadlines...the combination thereof, that makes us produce...?...i think its because, we ultimately want the approval of others, we naturally feel an accountability to others, and require structures to do it...
...omar ali shah speaks on this, on the importance of circumstance...there is something to performance. to performers, even if its small scale...even it's at a porchfest...the crowd response is essential to the perfomers, and they prepare, rehearse, work on getting it right...
...things have to be high stakes for things to move...the spray of a broken-hearted man into a crowd of concert-goers, leaving a pool of blood, leaving a generation of trauma, will permanently change things...
...the high stakes of freedom led to freedom movements that left people willing to sacrifice their life for values, for a change, one they might see...
...what are the ingredients of high stakes? a deadline, an audience, a consequence - reward or punishment...
...in the absence of the high stakes, there is a lacksadaisical approach to your goals, there is a perfectionism that prevails, there is a constant procrastination, because it is not due yet...it's not just right...
...so what to do? find out. apply for that position at that high stakes spot, that will require you to produce, that will require you to get it published. give them a date that you will have it by. then work like crazy!!!...with Purpose...from a place of One-ness...
