You might’ve had a bad day, the boss shouting at you, sales dropping.

Everything is going bad. Nobody recognizes your work and you feel alone, abandoned, powerless.

You can stay up. Even if you don’t have the slightest intention of doing, you should.
Because the most important thing you can learn and preach, the most critical thing is to recognize your limits, and stay happily within them.

If you only think about surpassing them, about transforming yourself into a superhuman, you’ll risk of changing into something you couldn’t expect.

Into someone you didn’t imaging.
Why? Because you will start hiding things.
Hiding the failures, the fears, only to have that feeling of power, of success.

But we don’t always have this luxury. Sometimes we can’t do it and we should admit it, or we can’t ask for help.

How can you ask for help if all you think about revolves around self-sufficiency?
If you do too much, do less.
No one checks your life, you can do less.

It’s up to you.

PS: e-prime failure today. I felt like using the “be” verb was required to express my thoughts. Maybe I’m missing part of the skills required? Who knows. I wonder if I should read more in e-prime. I feel like e-prime can’t be used successfully for “motivational-oriented” speeches probably because those speeches have placed their foundations into the common usage of the “to be” verb.

A friend wondered how come a coworker managed to do so much.

I got to talk with him (not on this topic), and I got the impression that he puts different priorities and goals into his life.

Maybe we spend more time playing, getting out with friends, or maybe he has a life (and a wife) that allows him to spend part of his free time doing other things, those same things that we see as a result.

He managed to do this while having a job, while doing his best at his job and still having a mind presence very hard to find in other people.

Side note: Writing in e-prime seems more difficult than I expected. Many of the natural thoughts I have uses the “to be” verb that I cannot replace very easily, at least for now.

I wonder if this will reduce my writing skill or will improve it.

Today marks my newfound commitment to writing as much as possible in e-prime and I want to talk about the importance of cleaning and reodering things.

Lately I’ve been slacking a little bit and it happened that, after dinner, I left dishes out of the dishwasher instead of placing them inside.

This causes a lot of mess and puts me in a somewhat unease condition. I also don’t like the place I live so much because of this.

Reordering helps me because it represents a way to clean, a “house hygene” that I strive to do as much as possible.

The order that it comes from it improves the overall quality of life and as such improves my life because everything is cleaner.

Today I got a new brush, it’s an handcrafted brush for wet shaving and it’s stunning, beautiful, fantastic.

It reminded me that for any handcrafted gift you are searching for the exceptional, for the mesmerizing, for the magic.

You don’t want something you can compare or buy in a store.

You want it unique, personal, fantastic.
