I recently listened to a TED talk on procrastination. The fascinating aspect on the topic is that research shows procrastinators are far more creative and innovative. Now when I say procrastination I am referring to those who are quick starter but a slow finisher. The reasoning behind this is that by procrastinating you allow for the project, idea, or plan to evolve. You allow for the possibility of endless possibilities without getting stuck in a one track mind. What does this have to do with perspective? The answer is everything. When we start a project the original idea is rarely the best. It is nearly impossible for us to foresee where the project or idea will head. We don't have the perspective. So next time you are planning something the most important thing is to simply start. Don't worry about every details. Allow the project to evolve and become something far greater then the original perspective.
The Peregrine Project
The peregrine falcon was the inspiration for this project and blog. On top of being one of the most formidable birds of prey, it was also a migrant. Peregrine means alien, traveler or passer-by. I want to provide content from the perspective of a traveler or migrant. After all, our lives are but a vapor in the wind. We are here today and gone tomorrow. All we have is this moment.
Slow it down..
Slow it down. Take a look to the right and left. There are 24 hours to a day, 8760 hours to a year. I want you to stop and think how are you going to enjoy this hour? This doesn't mean we have to pack it full of activity, or do something spectacular. It means to observe. To look. To feel. To exist. One hour. Today.
