My Findings

Some useful tips I’ve found along the way…

There is a plague of content online with people posting what they would tell their younger selves. What they fail to mention most of the times is that in all likelihood, their younger selves, being the sort of self entitled pricks we all are when we are young, would most probably tell them to fuck off and let them be. Life has stages, and some of these are beneficial for listening, while some are definitely not.

Another thing that most of this people easily forget is that for better or worse, their younger selves brought them this far, and that is fucking amazing. With all their flaws and insecurities, hurdles and sorrows, we are all here, ain’t we? Isn’t that a commendable achievement? One would think so given the harshness intrinsic to the world we live in, and to life itself, and yet they’d want to move stuff around. Shuffle the lego pieces to see what could’ve come out of that new combination.

What if what came out was something completely different, something they’d despise? It is not so clear to me that changing things we did in the past would yield better results, more so given we learn from our mistakes and improve by working on and from our shortcomings. What if we stripped ourselves of these shortcomings? Would we have felt the need to improve or the same sense of accomplishment when we overcame that hurdle? Would our minds be as prepared to face the storms coming our way?

Keep your mind clean. Cut off from your life or minimize contact with people who seem always bent in adding noise.

It might not be easy, you’ll get thrash for it, because people always judge what they cannot understand, but that is fine. It’s obviously futile to care about what other people think.

It is from the ignorance of people and their need to encapsulate behaviors into something they think they understand that judgement is born. It is a defense mechanism that allows them to stay calm while the world around them shows them things they cannot understand.

When an ignorant individual doesn’t understand something, they’ll always aim to judge having a pre-disposed image of what they think is going on, and you’ll always fall into that box no matter what you do.

Again, this is not a reflection of your inadequacy but of their own in understanding everybody is different and they can’t fit all of reality into a box. It is a predisposition that stems from their failure to accept that everyone is unpredictable and non-adherent to their current life model.

Always strive to find in life people that are unassuming. Folk that prefer to ask and get to know instead of creating fiction in their minds that adhere to their predetermined standard and way of thinking. The former can help one understand themselves better while the latter are very dangerous and if left unchecked can wreak havoc in our lives.

See that nothing fruitful can come from engaging with people that cannot see past their own limitations in their way of thinking and their way of life.
