It gave me a new perspective on a couple endeavors I've been pondering lately. I especially appreciated the point about how the "big goal" changes with time and that you related it to some actual individuals. I need to go back and read your archives...

I'd like to hear more about how you apply any of this to practical problems. I'm starting to apply the philosophy I've been writing about to my art. I'm having some success with it already, but I'm still in the beginning stages of the approach. I'm curious to see how it all progresses. If you want to read the archives, here is a good place to start: http://gannonbeck.com/2007/05/10/unchain-your-brain-part-i/ It's the crux of my overall philosophy on learning. It's a lot of reading, but if you find the time to read it, I would love to get your feedback. Gannon Thanks, Beth. I’d like to hear more about how you apply any of this to practical problems.

If im on the river then its going to be one hell of a long trip. In all seriousness though after reading your article on learning i decided to give learning a go. It had been at the back of my mind for awhile and the part about being an idler really shot home to me. The same day i enrolled on a local course and like you have said started to gain momentum in the right direction, I hope! Im hopeing that i can apply the same philosophy as the one i used in my fitness goals realising that things dont happen over night and the early stages are boring, frustrating and just a case of getting your head down and just getting on with it.In the same way i would never miss a workout i belive i built my foundations solidly enough in the tough early days to carry me through the rest of my life. Totally off the subject now id like to tell you of a coincidence that never fails to make me chuckle.I have spent my whole life on the move never settleing in one place for a certain period of time, i have lost count in the amount of time i have moved home with my family, and more recently in my 20s on my own, i even emigrated and lived on the Meditarian, then i came back to Britain met a girl and bada bing, i settled down and been here 2 years, Then about 6 months ago my girl told me about the old guy living across the road who has terminal cancer, id seen him during my time in my new home smoking away on the door step daily.What she hadn't told, me as women dont seem to think things like this bear any relevance is that the old guy is called Abraham-Lincon WADE, Now if it had been John, Paul or Ringo i wouldnt have been really amazed.
