Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.
It’s common to associate burnout to work, but I somewhat believe that “play” too is a road to burnout.
All the things you do must be very precise and fit your life in the way you want. Otherwise that’s where burnout happen.
Don’t confuse this with control, it’s about integrity of decisions.
The price of idleness is the same price you pay for lying.
It grows on you.
The more idle you are, the more idle you get.
It’s not about laziness, it’s about not wanting to do, to try, to change.
The price of idleness is the inability to have a past, because every day will be the same, and it will sum up to just one day, identical from time to time.
You won’t have something else to remember.
The best way to improve what you say, to make sure that what you say will come “true” is to honor your word.
There’s no shortcut for this, and honoring your word is very much a way to respect yourself and the people around you.
If you say that you’ll help your friend cleaning up the garden but then you don’t show up, how good is that?
Not good, right?
That’s respect, and it starts with the simplest thing, honoring the words you say.
James Altucher takes it even further, by trying to say only a precise number of words in a day.
This force him to evaluate anything he says so that the words aren’t wasted.
It’s a nice way to solve the problem, but you can also you the simplest route: do what you say, every time, everywhere, no exception.
Today I was wondering how much different we all are.
Some people are very sensitive about changes, they can feel it and understand the impact in their life while others just don’t notice it.
My chiropractor calls this the difference between internal perception and external perception, meaning that some people are more about checking out the world (external) than themselves(internal).
I guess there’s some truth here, although I cannot say that we belong to a group or another, but instead we differentiate based on the situation.
Sometimes we are sensitive to a subject, while other we are not.
It might be related to the time we actually dedicate to thinking and understanding, to feeling ourselves.
If we rush through the day we might not feel a thing and everything might seem useless, while on the other side if we take time to think about it, we notice the subtle changes, feel the impact and so on.
Your past is your past, you should be over it.
Even if it’s good, it’s just past.
It’s non-existent.
What exists is the right now.
I am a bit of melancholy-type. I love thinking about the past, remembering the old times, see how people grew, and so on.
I realize this is not always healthy, mostly because the past, as the future, is an image. Time that cannot be spent in the present.
Yes, the past did exist (while the future is not yet real), but it doesn’t exist right now.
I guess we all have to find a compromise between the love for what we have and the love for what we had.
Come on, give me the chills
