I know I can change my mind in what I tend to think of as profound truths or guidelines.
When I don't get to act upon a matter, I don't really value my opinion on it because believing something may just vanish the moment we are to take actual decisions.
The most obvious example is the things we do not do. It's so comfortable and socially acceptable to stay inert that I don't even notice how profoundly my lazy life renders most of my 'want-to' values bullshit.
There are SO many ridiculously easy steps to greatly improve my life and the life of people around me (-> my life). I know them, I've tried many of them, they do work, they are easy, they are great, there's no downside, and... I just keep 'doing it' the stupid way round.
This realization is not to complain and loathe myself. It's to see a slight bit more clearly through the blurriness of my all distorted perception of reality. To help me build understanding to the way I and others behave.
Some stupid things I do:
- I avoid people I like.
- I fail to express gratitude.
- I talk more and listen less.
- I eat until all the food is finished, and since I live alone I cook family-size quantities and just hurt my stomach.
- I live in a messy room when I actually function better in a clean room.
- I take few breaks from sitting.
- I get arrogant and cocky.
I do some smart things too, such as:
- I often sincerely apologize.
- I walk barefoot in quiet roads.
- I write this blog post.
- I don't worry much about worldly things many people do.
- I give my friends little treats.
- I invite myself to feel (well justified) gratitude, even though I need more work in expressing it
They are very rewarding.
I want to do more smart things and fewer stupid things.
I know it all sounds trivial but this is what I wanted to share today.
