I surely wrote about it a rather immature piece before,
but there is truth in some simplicity
You really should reset your fucking mind, life, goals, attitudes, every now and then
By asking yourself “WHAT I LOVE”
and then either doing it immediately,
or asking what STEPS are necessary to take,
then taking those steps
It works really well as a day-to-day routine
And your life is MADE of days
If you remembered to MERELY remember to LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE YOUR LIFE, and LIVE YOUR LIFE,
you’d then ask yourself what you LOVE, what of those LOVELY THINGS you can do right now,
and you’d take this effort, to treat yourself to something LOVELY AND WORTHWHILE,
and NOT cheap either, not half-assed, not superficial,
but wholesome
this is not hedonism, superficial and vain,
it’s wholesome and lovely
and of course in life,
it’s just layers upon layers of weird goals, weird incentives, weird plans, weird constraints, weird nonsense,
fuck that
every now and then gotta reset it all
ask yourself what you REALLY want most of all,
maybe it’s worth SACRIFICING what you thought was worth it
Again, this is not a “yolo” (you only live once) kind of mindset, or shallow nonsense like that,
This question can lead you to saying “FUCK IT”,
but it can as well lead you to taking on a profound challenge,
It’s about doing that which makes you feel alive
Again, life gets complicated,
One goal is predicated on a dozen other goals and conditions, which themselves are linked to this and that, etc etc etc,
I’m not even denying what you’re doing is done for GOOD reason, and rational, and is THE path that leads to maximisation of your well-being,
BUT,
MAYBE it does get too fucking complicated sometimes,
Let’s not forget we’re ANIMALS, after all,
We are not so complicated
Happiness is not so complicated,
Sometimes it only takes DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
Therefore I like this truth to ground me
Reinvigorate me,
And take me out of the rut, the comfort zone, the oppression of a habit
Also,
your attention is limited
Even if your plan is correct — your CIRCUMSTANCES change
You can become so tunnel-visioned on your goals — that you fail to realise you have already arrived at a pretty fucking LOVELY place
Look how fast the WORLD is changing, and what it entails
Look how VAST the world is
How unlocking one opportunity, changing one’s position — blows open the tree of possibilities
THIS is the true meaning of spontaneity, by the way
It’s not absence of discipline, long-term thinking and self-respect
It’s this ABILITY to ADAPT
To NOTICE your circumstances, and ADAPT quickly
rather than being so Stepford and robotic that you’re half-DEAD
What better way to wake up and LIVE,
than to DO WHAT YOU LOVE
and TRULY LOVE,
never lose touch with that
