Being focused is to want something so much that when you initiate the attempt to get the thing, you unconsciously zone out everything that comes in the way of that attempt. I feel aggression is a part of this attempt. For me, and for a lot of people I have seen and met that talk about aggression, I feel that aggression is a tool to gain momentum on focus. In a lot of instances, aggression is taken to be something along the lines of being violent and physical fighting. But I am talking about being aggressive in a completely non violent and non physical manner. I want to explore this idea of being mentally aggressive.
Aggression is effective when I use it on my mind. I use aggression to force my mind off any doubts it has when I am trying to perform a task. I have to admit I don’t do this often and that I rarely consciously do it. There have been times when due to the luck factor, I have had absolutely no distractions in performing the task that I have been set to. When I look back on such cases, there is a hint of aggression somewhere in the picture, although it is a very faint hint.
The goal in any case, is to develop a way to consciously channel this aggression into each and every algorithm that is carried out by the mind, thereby optimizing output to the greatest degree possible. And I think there might be a way to do this, however, it’s always an experimental approach that may or may not work. I feel it is going to work.
When you are part of a team, or part of a scenario where your actions dictate reactions from other human beings, there is a chance that your mind will spend some of its resources to calculating those outside reactions; which is a very unnecessary expense. This takes a toll on your aggression and focus and sets the gears of your mind into an extra curricular activity that is in no way contributing towards the task. Therefore, when I am engaged in such a scenario, one way to optimization would be to mind my own quarters when I am actually doing activity related to the task. The team doesn’t want you to constantly keep performing the task or achieve the goal that you are there for. But for the fraction of the time that I spend time with the team that requires me to perform, I need to mind my quarters and not let the mind think of anything but me.
