We each have patterns that make us who we are. As children, building these habits/patterns is a crucial part of the learning process- from brushing our teeth, to tying our shoes, or even noticing the complimentary patterns of wooden blocks that fit together to make a fort- all these thing are taught by our predecessors, so that we may live better, more productive lives and be happy, healthy adults adding positive value to the world around us. If these habits and patterns are not taught to be transferable, or movable... you are screwed.
One of my greatest faults thus far lies in my inability to create positive habits for myself-not at random, but at will. To thoughtfully pluck out processes and devise winning habits beforehand is a challenge i have until now never sought to master. So in terms of performance on the job, anybody can go into an office, receive an assignment & complete it. But it takes an individual of impeccable discipline and gumption to plan a structure of ideas, conversations, & most importantly processes, that leads to the most efficient environment possible (within reason, for that individual). It may seem daunting, but tackling even one item a day or week on your list should be enough to start a winning formula for success...at least that's what seems to work for some.
My plan is to start small-make a habit of drinking at least a liter of water a day. Make a day or two to call relatives. Spend Sundays cleaning...just to name a few. Next week I may turn to gaining control of my temperment and becoming more even-keeled for my family and friends (certainly more daunting than just makinh fone calls! Lol). If I can go a day or two without becoming extra chatty, angry, upset, or just being calmer in general, I will award myself by doing it all over again with another aspect of my day: professional conversation (maybe my family & friends will let me experiment on them?). I could even reward myself by buying a new power suit every wk...that would be a real treat!
Look around you- the world is full of patterns, cyclical forces, innate characteristics passed on through generations. If nature supplies such wonderful, albeit beautiful, examples, why is it so difficult to take that same idea and use it in another environment? I think just the idea of syncing resources & tools with their counterparts of a mother nature is too abstract a thought for some to handle. I know that stands true for me. What about you? Your life is full of patterns- your very breath is rhythmic- a pattern of time, air, & flesh! How profound is that thought? That you can measure one action in so many ways, dimensions, & molecules is amazing! We even know that molecules themselves have patterns made up of particles and magnetic bonds... Even the rotation of the planets is caused by forces unseen-forces that has formed this same rotational course for planets across the universe- what is being explored today as dark matter...
Why is it that all planets follow this same pattern? If they are different masses, why don't they move in they're own unique ways? Granted, they each have definitive characteristics respective to the planet or mass, but each follows the same pattern...if that doesn't express the value & importance of developing patterns, then I must be the biggest fool alive-or I just haven't read enough Science Journal ;)
