Comment on The Foundation for a Free Society by Christine Corder Hickey

Christine Corder Hickey — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:25:00 +0000

I am a 63 year old grandmother who is sharing The Foundation for a Free Society website with all my young family and friends, asking them, ” Who can think outside the box?” trying to awaken them from their complacency and cynicism to help them find a movement they can believe in. Thank you for giving me hope that our liberty can survive and for being an outlet to awaken them. My prayers are with you. I will be donating to your cause as I am able.

Sounds more like you are an multiactualite!

I myself have felt like jack of all trades….

Critical Thinking instructor
Roller Derby Girl
Librarian
Body Language Certified
Finance/HR Coordinator
Level 2 Krav Maga
MA in Philosophy
MA in Library Science
Latin HS teacher
Handwriting Hobbist

Nutrition Enthusiast, Film Major, Religious Studies Major….etc.

It’s great to have so many interests, though the world does not value it as much as the focused thinker on one task. I still would prefer the dabbling that I have done as a polymath. Life is more rich for those who see many pattern in many places…

Relieved that I am not the only one, I have decided my newest project is to be temporarily happy with not being able to finish one thing that I have started, and I’m off to find something shiny to distract myself with, I’m not kidding:)

Jason….Somehow I just knew it was you. I typed in “cassette tapes” and “clutter” to find how to sell/swap a box of old cassette tapes from the 80s and saw “De-Clutter | Jason Rink”. For us interested in efficient, minimal goverment, we also try to lead efficient, simplistic lives! Thanks for your work in Central Ohio!

Comment on Three Habits to Help You Keep Your Divine Appointments by Dcarter

I have become of aware of such things and began calling them “Divine Rendezvous” – the “chance” meeting of a person that you need to obtain information or perspective from, or perhaps a person you know that you “bump into” in an unexpected manner and are able to transact important business or sharing of information.

Jason:
I predict that you will get over it in your mid-fifties. You will reach a point in life when you realize that it is more than half over, and that will force you to resolve the conflicts in favor of _something_. I was a “multipotentialite” until then. I have more hobbies than Obama has czars, and few of them are pursued satisfactorily. After years of prayer, I concluded that I needed to focus on writing a blog (The Ohio Republic: http://www.ohrepublic,info), and preparing to take a leadership role in the coming revolution. I now feel that I am living up to my potential, and that I happen to be a late-bloomer (like Colonel Sanders).

Yes.

I, like Amanda who sent this to me, am much the same way. I’ve been at my current job for a whole year, which feels like FOREVER…
In high school I did chapel committee… and yearbook… and fine arts… and debate… and started a service club… and hung out with all the drama and art people… and the spiritual people… and the leader people…

i did missions after high school for half a year.

then college. then changed my major. then left school because i was going insane. then changed my major again. then left again. then finally graduated.

and am now working… not in my major.

i like to read… and to paint… and to write… and to lead… and to empower others to make changes… and to write about theology… and to start stuff and have the hardest time finishing.

Yep– i’m with you. Especially on the “ooh– shiny!” To your list of symptoms, I’d like to add, particularly for multipotentialites in ministry, “paralyzing guilt over seeing something go undone which we could do… so we add it to our routine, which is really adding to the number of things that don’t actually get done…”
