Hi Robert,

interesting point of view. To my opinion 'obsession' is a dangerous word as it may make you 'blind' for persevering a smooth path to achieve your goals. Sometimes obsession also prohibits to change your road to success... Being motivated means a lot of single behaviours which will bring you to your defined goal. Sometimes exists the necessity to change or moderate these behaviours... Obsession might block this.

To give an example of what I am talking: Shortly I read about a person who started running over 30 years ago. This person really is addicted to run although in the meantime the body tells him: Stop. The knees don't like the running any longer but the person likes the fresh air and the feeling while running... This is a kind of obsession which now turns against the this individual and creates pain to him.

Without 'obsession' this person would have realized already when the first health problems were coming up that he has to change s.th., or stop running or choose
