Art of Living

Cycles of motivation - occupational hazard of living. A fancy excuse to hide behind when I face trials of conscience at not having pursued an activity that I so enthusiastically committed to indulging myself in for purging my thoughts and emotions, for dumping my truck-loads of junk souvenirs, for offloading the burden of my life and for offering my pearls of wisdom in this ever-effervescent sea of human consciousness.

Taking a step further, for any independent variable of my existence that I sample over time, I find an oscillating function that casually hovers around an average average. Is success, by any chance, determined by the lack of this leveler of a multi-dimensional (life's) function? What does it take to break the voltage barrier and generate glitches, I ask then. What do I need in terms of a stabilizer that can not only buffer the expectedly sudden impact but also encourage fluctuations with its divine invisible presence?

However, if I somehow manage to break out of the humdrum of osciallating ordinariness, will I still remain the person that I now am or become one that I so desperately want to be? Maybe this inertia is justified then. It is this very inertia that, ever so often, transforms itself into a categorical imperative (for me) to rediscover my lost self (if I can steadily define one among many temporal projections, that is) and embark on an exciting journey into self and beyond - one that I look forward to, for it is the elixir of my life.
