Scavengers

We are all scavengers.

Belief — What You Believe

I believe in science and proof; I don’t believe in religion and faith. Science should be the new religion imo.

Remind yourself what you have been grateful for. Remarkable what that can do for your mental health.

Waste of Time

Worrying about the future and regretting the past are a complete waste of time. Best to focus all one’s energy on the present moment, and ask yourself what is to be done right now?

Worrying about the future and regretting the past are so easy to do, but are distractions that end up undermining one’s effectiveness.

Self-Improvement

I believe in permanent self-improvement every day in everything I do, including nutrition. That should be the golden standard for one’s life. And much of the greatest self-improvement over time comes from tiny improvements every day.

This should be your standard until your last breath.

Kindred Spirits

That the words wander and wonder are kindred spirits.

Discipline

You can’t achieve anything without it.

But you can improve your discipline “muscle” with use. The more you get yourself to do things you know you ought to do but would rather not, the stronger that muscle becomes.

Mindset

What I believe in is continuous improvement as a mindset. Commit yourself to the idea of continuously improving whatever you do, both in terms of big things and even very small and seemingly trivial things.

Managing your finances — a big thing — how can you improve that? Washing the dishes — a trivial thing — how can you improve that?

Continuous improvement — that should be your mindset permanently. Nothing short of that.
