š§² Wants vs Desires
In my personal vocabulary, I distinguish between wants and desires.
Want = a conscious choice to pursue something
Desire = an unconscious craving for something
When making decisions, I try to differentiate if I am doing it out of wanting or desiring it.
Desires have a sneaky way of making us rationalize a decision that isnāt in our best interest.
Next time you make a big decision, ask yourself, āAm I doing this because I want it, or desire it?ā
š¹ Longboarding
Iāve recently reconnected with my lifelong hobby of longboarding.
I specifically enjoy a style of longboarding called ādancingā that emulates movements used in longboard surfing. Iāve found that longboard dancing is the most reliable way to myself into a state of FLOW. Thatās because itt takes intense focus to perform subtle footwork without falling.
I havenāt lived in an area where longboarding was a convenient hobby for the past ten years.
Luckily, my current home in Wabasha is packed full of flat streets with little traffic, making it ideal for daily practice. See a video below of what longboard dancing looks like.
(and hereās a video of all the failed attempts at recording the tricks above)
š Rainbow
Last weekend I experienced the most stunning rainbow Iāve ever seen.
It was a complete and double rainbow stretching across beautiful Iowa farmland.
It was absolutely breathtaking and was an amazing reminder to appreciate the beauty that nature has to offer.
Thanks for reading and talk to you next time.
Best,
Isaac
