Create, Give, And Be Moral
You should create more and then give more. It is morally obligatory. In doing so you take good care of yourself, and appreciate the gift of life — which is morally obligatory. In doing so you contribute to the world, making it a better place — which is morally obligatory. Why is it morally …
Don’t Find Yourself In The Wrong Pursuit
You are only what you did today. Only what you tangibly improved today matters. Only what you tangibly improved today is real. You are only defined by what you tangibly did better today. You are only worthy if you were worthy today. Only good if you were good today. Not yesterday, and NOT tomorrow. I’ve …
How to Use Nostalgia
Past is only useful as information, as a lesson. Past, psychologically, is an illusion. You no longer are in the past. The “past-you” doesn’t exist. If anything, the “past-you” and “future-you” are nothing but founts of pain. Therefore we learn to “let go” of the past. To “be in the moment”. Do let go …
Either Give Up Or Do Better
Either give up or do better. Never get used to failure. Never fail without good reason. Either give up already — or IMPROVE. It’s not “persistence” if you’re NOT improving. Either IMPROVE — or GIVE UP already. Even smallest improvement is a victory. But NOT improving is NOT acceptable. We have too many …

If there’s nothing to compare something to — then there’s just everything, which is nothing. It’s obviously the same with ideas. All ideas are relative. They only …
Commitment, Energy, Momentum, Resistance: how one moves
-Commitment is like a map, or like a plan, or like a guide. It’s the axis on which the momentum will be applied. -Momentum is like momentum — it’s the movement at certain velocity in certain direction — and the greater momentum the easier it is to sustain it and the harder it is to …
Your life = you. You = your life
Ultimately, how you feel about life is how you feel about yourself, and vice versa. Because whatever it is that you call “yourself” — is ultimately but a collection of your life experiences. Unjust life creates unjust people. Tough life creates tough people. Loving world creates loving people. Boring life creates boring people. Comfortable …
What MORE RESPONSIBILITY Means
“More responsibility” means more responsibility. Therefore “more responsibility” does not mean the same amount of responsibility, and it obviously does not mean LESS responsibility. What many do is they TRADE responsibilities, They will take more responsibility for one thing — and give up responsibility for something else -1+1 = 0. You didn’t take more …
