Thanks for sharing this incredibly helpful perspective! I feel that some of my thoughts were going into a similar direction recently, but I could not quite phrase them. E.g., sometimes I feel I get overwhelmed by all the articles I want to read on Susbtack and then I am not enjoying reading a single one since I want to read them all and there is only so little time. But letting go of the others ones that you might or might not read, helps so much to FOCUS (enjoy) the one you just happen to read in this very moment.

What you are describing here is creative flow, which is connecting with the spirit. We have two warring factions in our consciousness: spirit and ego. Spirit VS. ego. When we worry too much about performing, producing, yada yada, we are operating from ego. We tighten up. We don't perform to our best ability. When we let go and let spirit take over--enter that elusive state of creative flow--that's when our performance soars. Thanks for this thought provoking piece.
