Stop Romanticizing Every Little Thing
And how to know if you are.
Ever gone and reread the first self-help book you ever picked up?
I did, and I threw up in my mouth. Not for the information that was in the book, but for me.
I took it all to heart. I romanticized the steps of improvement to the point it became self-help masturbation.
Here’s a newsflash: Doing things, in the same way, will not guarantee the same result.
Results Base on Circumstances
If person A does 500 push-ups a day and gets a good-bod in 31 days, then you should get it too, right?
Nope.
Your metabolism is different. You are different. It may take longer.
Doing exactly what the successful did will not give you the exact success they had.
Better Output by Unfiltered Input
Without enough output, you don’t survive. But the problem is the output, the result is out of our control.
So, we must control the input. What we do.
Can you get into a good mood of work only when you have 30 ounces of coffee with a little incense burning by my side?
Nope. Stop trying to find the perfect situation for your chance to work. That’s fantasy. You’ll never get that.
Unfiltered input is where you do what you have to without trying to find the perfect circumstances. You simply do.
You stop romanticizing by introducing action in your life. Actions lead to clarity. Clarity turns romanticizing to dust.
