Inner Life
Purpose made me focus on the outcome, not the journey.
Once you attach a set future to your identity, things start to be... forced.
F*ck Ups.
Pain + Reflection = Progress.
Go through the pain.
First order conesquence? It hurts.
Second order consequence? It feels good to deal with it.
- Ray Dalio
Work in Progress. Here, I will share my lessons learned.
It's part of life.
F*ck-Ups are part of life. You can either choose to accept and learn from this truth, or punish yourself when you are messing things up.
Why this exists:
- It helps me to frame failures in a constructive light.
- Should you fail in similar ways, maybe you remember, fail quicker.
- Writing helps me think better, simpler. Try it.
The Positive in Failures is Bettering.
I frame my f*ck ups. Failure is part of the journey. You can either choose to accept this truth, or punish yourself when you are messing things up. Here, I'ss see the positive in what I've learned.
Life in general is like a video game, and beating the game is about focus on passion to learn from all the times your character failed. It would be boring to reach the final level and end of game without any struggle. And that's why your life feels so rewarding - overcoming obstacles will make you enjoy the success even more.
My Lessons Learned:
External Life
Seeking perfection, a paradox.
Delving into an extreme is fun. Perfection is too extreme for me.
External Life
Conformity made me ignore my inner child's wisdom.
We all learned it - to fit in. Some cultivate a critical and independent character. I did not prioritize it.
