🌱 Towards a Better Life: 10 Golden Nuggets 🌱
Greetings everyone,
That’s it! Yesterday (Saturday, September 23, 2023) was officially the last day of summer according to Calandarpedia.
Don’t worry. We aren’t listening to them. Shorts and sandles till christmas - Who’s down?
🌟 We recently stumbled upon a gem on LessWrong that resonated with us deeply. The article, "100 Tips for a Better Life", is brimming with insights on personal growth, mental wellness, and the art of living more meaningfully. Here, we're sharing some of our top picks with you. We hope they inspire you as much as they did us!
✨ Our Top 10 Picks from the Article: ✨
On Discipline and Motivation:
"Discipline is superior to motivation. The former can be trained, the latter is fleeting. You won’t be able to accomplish great things if you’re only relying on motivation."
Life's No Video Game:
"You do not live in a video game. There are no pop-up warnings if you’re about to do something foolish. You have to create your own warnings."
Simplify to Succeed:
"Make accomplishing things as easy as possible. People make things harder than they have to be. Try not to."
Everyday Living:
"How you spend every day is how you spend your life."
Embrace Reality:
"If something surprises you again and again, stop being surprised."
Value Relationships:
"Call your parents when you think of them, tell your friends when you love them."
Spread Positivity:
"Compliment people more. Many people have trouble thinking of themselves as smart, or pretty, or kind, unless told by someone else."
Act with Kindness:
"In general, you will look for excuses to not be kind to people. Resist these."
Stay Curious:
"Sturgeon’s law states that 90% of everything is crap. If you dislike poetry, or fine art, or anything, it’s possible you’ve only ever seen the crap. Go looking!"
Honor Your Feelings:
"If other people having it worse than you means you can’t be sad, then other people having it better than you would mean you can’t be happy. Feel what you feel."
