Each day, at some point, I go hunting for quotes.
I curate picture quotes, capture insights from books, and save ideas from emails.
I aim to upload five fresh insights per day to MoveMe Quotes.
What I was thinking about today was how my mental state affects my hunt.
When I’m groggy, anxious, distracted… I find myself skipping over a bunch more material than when I’m alert, calm, and focused.
…There have been times when I’ve hunted for upwards of an hour and couldn’t find a single quote worth uploading.
…And there have been times when after a few minutes I found myself uploading close to ten.
Generally speaking… the material I hunt through each day is equally saturated with insights.
What’s interesting for me is how lack of sleep, lack of screen discipline, lack of clarity in priorities can affect my ability to see and capture insights that are floating right by my face.
…And I suspect the same affects us all in many of the same ways as we go about our days and beauty, grace, opportunity, love, and yes, insight… floats right by our groggy, anxious, distracted face(s).
P.s. I finished uploading quotes from Freedom From The Known by J. Krishnamurti today. You can read my 32 captures here.
