Gemini :: Gemini Rising
Putting together a puzzle. What are the things that stimulate you? What are the things that bring you joy? What would be the ideal amount of time to devote to these things? Here’s the answer to that last question. You need to feel stimulated and interested most of the time. This is your birthright. Boredom is your bane. But guess what, this is something you’re completely in charge of. You create your own capacity to be interested. Truly. Prioritize your need to be fascinated by your life. Your life is supposed to be all about learning. This does not mean that all of the learning needs to be easy. But it does mean that you need to be engaged.
