I must get to know him better.”<br/><br/>It’s deeply at odds with some of today’s political and social culture. There is a tribalistic undercurrent of contempt. A pervasive and oft performative, “Find your tribe and shun the rest,” attitude. Virtue signaling and moral superiority.<br/><br/>Lincoln’s statement is inherently curious about others and yet also deeply introspective. It asks both, “Why is that person so?” and “What makes me dislike them for how they are, or seem to be?”<br/><br/>What if we change his first sentence? “I don’t like that person’s politics. I must get to know them better.” My, what a different country might we have if we more regularly sought to understand each other that way.

The surprise is where it lands - it has some bearing on whether you hit the goal, and a much stronger one on what happens next.<br/><br/>Let's imagine two people set the same goal: lose 15 kilos. The goal could be anything, but weight loss is so measurable and visible that I'll use it as the example.<br/><br/>One motivation is running away from something you don't like in yourself. "I'm lazy. I look terrible. I'm a disgrace." <br/><br/>The other is running toward something that inspires you as a latent potential within you. "I want to be strong, and present for my kids in twenty years."<br/><br/>In weight-loss trials, autonomous motivation - the "toward" kind - predicted the initial loss and, more tellingly, whether the goal stuck 2 years on. The controlling kind, the drive to fix a flaw, causes adherence to goal for a short time, but here's the kicker: maintenance of the goal once achieved was almost nil.<br/><br/>(source: <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1479-5868-9-22">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1479-5868-9-22</a>).<br/><br/>It goes deeper.
