I have been thinking a bit lately about processes and their drivers. I've broken them down into two categories--details and character, with the vast majority of input from our society falling into the former. Here are their key characteristics:
Details Process
- often used in marketing--"secret", "tip", "exclusive", "new"
- relies on making small tweaks (details) to obtain big results
- uses personality to compel others to action
- removes accountability from individuals for their difficulties
Character Process
- gradual process
- often involves a greater shift of self-view, not world-view
- internal--does not rely on others, artifice, or gimmick
- becomes easier with time
In writing this down, it all becomes obvious to me. This seems to be fairly common with me--after a lengthy thought process, I finally write something down, only to see how self-evident (and obvious) it is. But that said, that kind of thought process seems to be essential for any kind of self-development or progression as a rational, kind person.
The breakdown into the two above categories can be applied to most any situation, I believe. The places I see it the most are diet/nutrition strategies and training protocols, since those are what I investigate the most. So which one is better? (Hint: It's not the first.)
