3 things that you are grateful for:
- For so much accessibility to timeless wisdom (books)
- For skin and nails
- For clothes
1 thing that you can do better:
- Hearing myself talking more often (catch my ignorance)
Notes:
Be your own kind of beautiful
Every breath is a blessing
It’s nice to pause and take some time in all this running and playing the game to just look around and be grateful for what is
I think maybe one reason why I didn’t read so much was because of my ego and fear of finding out how vast my ignorance is.
Is confortable to know you know but is dangerous (except the laws of physics everything is up for debate)
If you want to learn you need to be a full first and have the humility to say you don’t know and really look for answers
The 10th step — STOIC VS. EPICUREAN ARNOLD’S 1,000 REPS, APACHE COLD SHOWERS, AND THE SPARTAN WHIPPING POST
A nation is born stoic and dies epicurean
Stoicism — forgo present pleasure for something better (develop thick skin), sacrificing the now to get something better in the future
Epicureanism — get the pleasure that the moment present to you, live now because tomorrow you will die (Yolo, live for pleasure)
There is true to both the answer is somewhere in the middle
Remember the every action has an opposite and equal reaction
Technology and this confortable society make us weaker more sensitive and with ludicrous complains
Toughen up boy
Adversity makes man and prosperity makes monsters — Viktor Hugo
We are too soft these days
You should want life to hard, hard is what make it great
Spartan life (lifelong solider)
Yolo (you only live once) is for suckers
Do something hard everyday
Be stoic, be brave and get tougher every day
Your life should be enough to tech others (lead by example)
Today is a good day to die
You find what being alive means when you face death
Be tough (the top dog, see the book)
A cold shower is not only something physical but something psychological (rewiring) -> two for one
The reward for doing the hard things is large
On your body: Use it or lose it (toughen up)
You need a little stress, tension and stretching (mind and body)
Be a hard person (you don’t want a soft person by your side)
Love the scars
Life will throw tremendous shit on you so you need to be prepare (thick skin)
When you break a bone you should say that is life right there (or stupidity but you get the point -> be tough)
There is level of competition to life
What is owning you weakling
Pushing through some adversity releases more dopamine (makes you happier)
Work and do more
With the age some get weaker and some get tougher
Next time when you don’t want to do something just do it (just to mess with your brain, burn out the fat in your brain)
If you don’t feel the burn you probably don’t lift enough weight to regrow your muscles
You need to brake yourself open
Don’t be the bitch of your brain
There is no greater mastery than mastery over oneself
Go to a farm
You should be excited about failing (scars) -> get the lesson
Face your fears
Life fortune the braves
Mess with your wishes
Train yourself to be tougher
When you push through the toughness you feel better about yourself
Depression comes when you feel like a victim (helpless)
You are never helpless not with this brain and your ability to learn
Technology always starts as a slave and slowly you become it’s (you become the bitch of your mind, the slave becomes the master)
