The intrinsic energy of interests

When we identify something as an interest, we naturally act on it. We do what we can to explore the interest. We naturally adapt to our questions and discoveries along the way. We can trust our interests to energize action. When we delay, postpone or fail to act, it’s likely not an interest. It’s an obligation instead. Even so, we can sometimes find something interesting in an obligation, making the obligation more interesting than dull.
