I think it's interesting we can like engaging in various activities for very different reasons. Playing basketball for me was an exercise in concentration more than anything. It really wasn't about the competition, it was about an attempt to reach a more meditative state, being present in each action.
Lately I have trouble motivating myself to exercise, to work out. Perhaps if I treat it as an exercise in concentration, I will be able to find the means to get moving again. I feel I suffer from a split mind... A will that wants to be totally free, and a will that wishes for direction. If I can find enjoyment in conscientious effort, then perhaps I'll be able to direct my will better...
