I've been thinking about emotional "power sources" for behavior. Lots of it is powered by fear these days, which has predictable unfortunate effects. Last year I did a lot of stuff powered by hope, which I eventually learned isn't that great either. That shook me, to learn.

My actionable advice on the subject would be to try koan practice. Being severely confused+koan+reading a lot of Zhuangzi, of all people, somehow worked out for me. The Daoists are helpful since they have little care for hope, but maintain a whimsical / jolly view of life.

This all feels on-point, thanks! Personally I am going to try out some meditation techniques. Koan practice could be fun... where would I get started?
