I don't post quite often. Maybe that's why my posts are so long.
I am rediscovering life everyday. I learn new things. I push my limits. I discover new ways to bend the rules, to get where I want, to go where I please.
- Thomas J Watson, Founder of IBM:
"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure"
- You are free. Here. Now. The only question is: To what degree do you understand that there are no rules and that you are free?
- Seek to do what you want to do. Don't try to 'not do' something and suffer by attempting to push it away with your mind. Do it if you want to do it. Stop when you don't want to do it. It's that simple.
- Push. Forwards or backwards, it doesn't matter. Just follow your heart and push.
- My feelings determine everything. My whole existence is run by the way I feel. Does this/Will this make me happy/fulfilled?
- Develop the habit of action. Replace existing habits that you find pointless/detrimental with new ones, through practice. See this article for more on that.
- Treat your attributes as what they are: attributes. Not elements of your identity. Playing golf well or singing well serves its own purpose. It may be making your boss happy or landing a record deal. Learn to value those parts of you for the function they perform and solely for that.
Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.
- Living your life involves answering just one question “What do you want?”. The rest will follow.
How do I know all this? I read. A lot. And I internalize and practice what I read.
