+# Thoughts on engagement and excitement
+
+I'm contacting my engagement and excitement.
+The feelings are there - from experience - as resources for me to draw upon.
+So, I'm focusing on feeling them.
+
+Grounding, movement, clarity, focus, strength, drive,
+knowledge and joy might be the opposites of what I am feeling.
+Therefore I focus on them.
+
+Joy.
+
+I enjoy most parts of my work. I like it, when I know what to do
+and am actually doing it.
+
+I feel intense joy when I get a new insight, get to an agreement with
+others in a team, or finish a part of a project.
+
+I really enjoy movement. When a piece of work is moving along.
+When I'm getting somewhere.
+
+Not just flow, chunky movement is okay, too.
+Slow movement is also movement.
+Movement is a source of joy for me.
+
+I'm taking action on "securing" movement.
+I can't control the actual pace, but I can put in the time and the attention.
+I can plan. Create routines.
+
+Grounding and strength is remembering who I am and why I do what I do.
+Remembering my visions, goals, tools, values.
+Checking in.
+Basically that's what I do when I write.
+
+Clarity.
+
+Clarity is a stage I move into and slide out of,
+not a constant state of mind.
+
+By consciously and actively striving for clarity, I get it.
+Sooner or later I get it. And then I lose it again.
+
+It's rhythmic.
+
+Engagement.
+
+I'm easy to engage in a cause or a project, a job.
+I easily connect the further development of my resources
+with other peoples' ideas.
+Professionally, voluntarily and personally.
+I make their case mine.
+
+It's habitually harder for me to pursue my own ideas.
+
+Clarity helps me figure out how to move on.
+Consciously formed habits, too.
+
+Leading a life of steady creativity.
+Instead of jumping from project to project,
+race to race to their individual finishing lines,
+it's a flow of interconnected activities,
+naturally producing output when matured.
+That is the state of mind I seek.
+That is the life I strive to design for myself.
+
+Relevance is motivation. Excitement. Energy. Drive.
+And essential to interaction with others.
+
+However I cannot connect with whatever and anybody.
+All the projects I work for, I associate with myself.
+I make them mine.
+
+Meeting others challenges me to define myself and my purpose.
+To sharpen what I do and why.
