Interest vs. Obsession

 

It occurs to me that having an interest in something makes me feel alive. Being obsessed with that thing supersizes my aliveness. Obsessions have taken me to some wild places, but most of those trips turned really bad. I learned mindfulness to scale back, simplify, and just be okay with feeling "alive". What I found was that simple "aliveness" is bottomless. Peaceful, joyful, rich with potential for a really fine life.
