Delusion breeds inertia. Inertia breeds delusion.

 

Psychologically, if you want to do something, but don’t do it for some reason – that reason is probably an excuse.

If it repeats itself – then it’s certainly an excuse.

 

You think your motivations and actions and pursuits can be reduced to a finite, logical plan. They can’t.

 

Your logic will always serve your desire. Unless something is certain (and what is?) — your “logic” will be but a tool of deception, complying to your whims and adorning them with an illusion of rationality.

 

Dos and don’ts always escape us. It’s either that it finally comes down to it – to action – or it wastes away into inertia, aggravated with self-serving logic and it’s red herrings.

 

Forget the reasons NOT-TO do something.

IF IT’S ON YOUR MIND – YOU *MUST* DO IT.

Otherwise you’re deluding yourself. You’re deluding yourself with what you want. With what you do. With what your motivations are. With what is true.

 

Action is an antidote for inertia. Quite literally, action cures inaction, but also psychologically – for action eradicated the intellectual inertia – it eradicates the residue of your beliefs, your ideas, your dogma – and puts you directly in contact with reality.

 

One needs not so much knowledge,

but one must be an explorer.
