Today I started a new project. Without going too deep into details that don’t matter to anyone but me, my project is to build up my blog. I have started thinking about what I will be doing in the coming days. I started to organize and outline. As soon as I set a couple goals and turned these ideas into an actual project there were changes in my mind and in my behavior. I am grateful for all the great things new projects can bring to our lives.
Energy is one of the first things that a new project brings me. Every time I start one up I get a rush. The excitement of possibility is real. This project is a personal project with little tangible rewards at the moment but the rush is still real. The rush really doesn’t seem to be affected by the ability to make money from a project or some sort of other external motivational force.
New projects for me seem to bring some clarity. Once I have set myself towards a project, things become clear. I start to get focused and determined, like the temperature rising in a kettle. I like this clarity, I enjoying knowing what I am to be doing.
I am grateful these kind of feelings guides me towards new projects. Through new projects new growth and new successes can be found. It is awesome when our brains reward us for going the right direction. I get these rewards from new projects.
