We don’t have to live our lives on the sideline when we’re in charge of making our own decisions. Sideline is a time for vicariously watching and learning from others. After a time watching participants, we then begin to model them. But later we begin to claim our own sound, our own voice by remodeling our own way that’s uniquely ours. Modeling another is an external process while remodeling is more of an internal process that starts from inside out. Remodeling allows us to interpret our learning based on our background and our unique view of the world. So the more we’re a participant of this world the more we’re becoming ourselves and expressing uniquely to the world.
Great post, Eugene! You are so right about participating. I remember reading something interesting in Best Runs by Joe Henderson. In the book, he writes about the fact that studies have shown that those who participate in sports to tend to have far less sports than those who only watch spectator sports. Another advantage for the participant!
