How is it that the thing we rely on most we never train?
If you want a guaranteed shit lyfe, make your existence big.
Knowing that we’re nothing and in the grand scheme of things will disappear into our own nothing, frees us. It’s actually the ultimate freedom.
You don’t have the answers for the universe… in fact, maybe forget the universe for awhile because you’re barely solving your own life.
And this is the subtle art of getting ahead.
We’re termites… In a good way.
Where we err big time is we forget we can’t see reality. As far as you’re concerned there is no reality– what you’re seeing is your personality, projected onto everything 24/7.
That’s not life, it’s you.
But we walk around, living in our own genres and then telling others how it is or ought to be. The craziest part? It never occurs to us to try to change the lens because it’s not advertised.
Here it is:
You’re Bad at Thinking.
I mean, how can you not be? You weren’t properly trained. You have no systems in place and right now your go-to method for decision making is memory and mood. The historically proven to be most inaccurate delusional system.
We need a better way.
And that starts with self awareness– “but I know myself.” Sure you do.
But what you know is useless, like your middle school best friend– yeah, black is your favorite color but I wouldn’t call that understanding.
You need to know what situations bring out your inner idiot, where do you go full-dumbo? Each of us has blind spots, you need to see yours.
I’ve been using mbti, not the bs website either. Specifically: https://www.objectivepersonalitysystem.com/
When I got typed it became easier to see the faulty default system for my thinking. It wasn’t for everything, but my blind spots were definitely fcking me up.
My advice to you– and this is only if you want a fun, engaging, and fulfilling life. Find a system that actually shows you where you’re messed up and provides some type of map to get you out of there.
We need to grease the gears to better turn the mind… that was stupid. Point is, be a better thinker by getting new input.
