Find Your Obsession

Imagine a world where every basic need is met. There is no need to find shelter, food, or water. Energy is universal for all. Even money is removed from the equation. All living needs are solved and are delivered to you. In this world, what is something you would want to spend your time doing? Not only for a short amount of time. What is something you could do over and over again? What is something you could do forever when there is no need to do anything else?

This something would be your obsession.

If you have an answer, think of the current situation in your life. How often are you able to follow this obsession? If you have a true obsession about something, you must find ways to implement it into your life. Obsession produces the magic.

Moving away from the imaginary world where every basic need is met, how many people do you think are currently leading lives where they are following their obsession? The answer is sadly, not many. People spend their lives doing work and living lives to get by. We live in a society where chasing obsession is not the default path. The default path is being a cog in the societal wheel that wakes up, works, goes home, and repeats. You are lucky if you are a member of the select few actively following lives of obsession.

Obsession is not found instantly. Like finding a purpose, obsession can take years to find. It takes saying “yes” a thousand times to find the one thing that makes you say “no” to everything else.

Obsession can be unraveled via curiosity. What are you curious about to a level that would bore other people? Follow your curiosity and see if it turns into obsession. If it doesn’t, move on and continue the search. You must deliberately search for it maniacally until it is completely obvious to you.

You will feel the obsession in your soul when you find it. Once you have found it, your life will change. Chase obsession and live a life of the obsessed.
