philosophy
The advice that's changed my life more and faster than anything:
Fail more.
It is a dialogue between you and reality that involves breaking down and rebuilding your identity again and again.
No overthinking.
Iteration, failure/feedback, & correction until it starts working.
“Do not mistake the technique for the Goal.”
Paramhansa Yogananda • Autobiography of a Yogi (Reprint of the Philosophical library 1946 First Edition)
You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. 48 Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind.
Eknath Easwaran • The Bhagavad Gita
Nothing is normal. Things just get normalized.
how many people you touched > how many people you reached
“If you can or if you can’t, remember that you’re right.”
