I know a of few these people if I stop and think about it; one friend in particular came to mind recently that spurred this thought; he’s a guy, thus the title of this piece, “Man in Motion.” The title could also be, “Perpetual Motion“.
First tho’, just what is the idea?
It seems to me there are certain people and their predisposition as humans, these people tend to get more done. They are more interested in results, more focused on process, and are motivated to accomplish. I don’t think everyone is like that. But these people are. And thank goodness for them!
I was talking to this particular friend that came to mind recently, and he was telling me about various activities that he and his family had been engaged in, and thing also coming up soon. It was after that conversation that I thought to myself, “Man, that guy seems to always be busy, and gets a lot done…” and he’s been like that as long as I’ve known him over several decades.
I experience quite a bit more inertia than my friend, than these doers of which I am speaking. I have a ton of respect and even admiration for the doers. I’m just not cut from that same cloth. Maybe somehow the same sheet of fabric, but definitely not the same section of cloth .
I guess it comes down to motivation, and priorities. As I often say, all shapes and sizes…all shapes and sizes.
And thank goodness for the Doers!
