What makes the thing exciting? It’s the novelty effect, isn’t it? Obviously it is. It’s not exciting because it is exciting. It is exciting because it’s new. You say that extreme sports are exciting or this or that. It’s not. It’s the fact that you don’t do those things every single day of …

Anything Is Possible — And It Has Nothing To Do With Your “Dreams”
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS POSSIBLE. Not a clue. Wishful thinking or sceptical – you have no idea. You sceptics are not really sceptical. You should be sceptical about what you deem impossible. You should be more open to the UNBELIEVABLE POSSIBILITIES. We all underestimate what is possible. Dreaming, fantasising, wishful-thinking, …
Self-Improvement Is Mental Masturbation
Self-improvement is mental masturbation. You don’t really care about improving. You just want to feel good about yourself. “Motivation” is about feeling good about yourself. “Inspiration” is about feeling good about yourself. “Hustle” is about feeling good about yourself. Even “PLANS” are about feeling good about yourself. Oh and obviously resolutions are about …
Be Wrong Till The Day You Die
You fail. Then you fail again. And again. And again. You are wrong. Then you’re wrong again. You’re always wrong. Good. That’s what it means to be alive. You fail. You’re wrong. And then you try again. Failure is an inexorable part of life, obviously. So is being wrong. But they will tell …
You Will Be Rewarded
You want a reward. You want a reward because you want things. You want a reward because you want to believe your action, your effort wouldn’t be for granted. You want a reward, because you have a ridiculous idea that the world is just. It is just. Just not in the way you’d think. …
THE WANT THE CHOICE THE NEW
What is the want? You want thing. It quite gives meaning to your life. You have an idea that this will make your life better. Then the movement of time makes sense. You are moving somewhere. And that somewhere is “better”. How do you conceive of better and worse? You have your memory. Thus the …
NEVER justify yourself to ANYONE
NEVER justify yourself to anyone. Never ever. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. You don’t owe anyone anything. When you are genuine — there is nothing more that you have to do. When you are genuine, when you are simple, when you speak your mind, when you don’t look to manipulate people — there …
No One Really Has It Better
No one really has it better. Not much better anyway. Hardly better at all. One is a millionaire and other is a bum. One is a success and other is a failure. One is right and other is wrong. One is loved and other is hated. We are used to thinking in dualities …
You Must Disagree… Even When You’re Wrong
You must disagree. You have to. There is no other choice. Life is short and you don’t know what to do. You can now trust others and hope they are right. You have no reason to believe anyone is right. You have every reason to believe everyone is wrong. You see all this misery, …
Standards Destroy Creativity And Spontaneity
“You have standards”. What does it mean to have standards? Does it not mean to have limits? Yes, you limit (save) yourself from the possibility of producing substandard work. You also limit yourself from the possibility of producing something brilliant. Do your standards predict genius? Do your standards encapsulate the genius? Standards destroy creativity. …
