One belief I have is that if you wish to be virtuous you will learn to eat cereal virtuously.
The novice of virtue is tempted by dreams of heroic acts, just as the novice sculptor daydreams of palatial monuments, or other grand work. But the master sculptor is extraordinary not because he has been commissioned for monumental bronzes (which may never... See more

Simon Sarris • Breadcrumbs - by Simon Sarris - The Map is Mostly Water
And one of the great tragedies of our time is how thoroughly we are trained to distrust this kind of knowing. From a young age, we are encouraged to prioritise strategy over spontaneity, prudence over passion. We are told to plan our lives, manage our time, brand our personalities.

He doesn’t accept “this is just the way things are done.” By default, life pushes you around, and to work the way you want to work, you need to ask for it. Sometimes you will forget to do this, but this clip of David Lynch being upset will remind you, and you’ll ask for what you need and the world will open up to you a little.
Therefore, what does it mean to live erotically in a world designed to suppress the erotic? It means making decisions that align with your aliveness, even if they offend your ego, your upbringing, your pay check. It means walking away from a job that kills your soul. Reading poetry instead of productivity manuals. Saying “yes” to a conversation... See more

Everyone wants to know how to be liked. But I think we all know, actually, how to be liked, it’s just that it’s hard. It takes attention and openness, and the confidence to present your character like it’s a fun mask you’re wearing rather than a lesson you’re desperate to teach someone.
