It's the movement that makes you feel good

I've been thinking a lot about how do we feel good about living this life? How do we feel alive?

One of the common things that I've seen whenever I felt good, whenever I felt alive, and I felt like doing things, when I felt like not being in a rut, when I felt like that, I want to move ahead, I want to do something, I want to achieve something.

It's the feeling of movement that you're going somewhere. I would say it's the feeling of not being stagnant or being at one place.

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's my archetype that makes me predisposed to think that movement and achievement is something.

I'm not saying it in a more materialistic term that achievement is everything or achievement makes you feel good.

It's not that. It's the movement, the feeling of going somewhere. It's the idea that you're going in a direction that you want to go in. And it doesn't matter how big or small your steps are. It doesn't matter how smaller or bigger things that you're doing are.

It's that feeling of not being at one place, that displacement of your own cognition which makes you feel alive.

I'm still exploring this thought because this is the thing that I might be struggling a lot these days - that feeling of movement or maybe the feeling of direction but through the phases of feeling low and then feeling high again. One common pattern that I've found is this - the feeling of movement.

It could be as simple as writing a note, just like this one. This felt like movement to me.
