Keep the promises you make to yourself

We make promises to others we wouldn't think of breaking: our spouses, friends, our business partners our coworkers. Yet, we have no problems breaking the promises we make to ourselves. "I won't waste time on useless sites", "I'll stop procrastinating", "I'll do better", "I won't lose my temper", "I won't drink anymore", the list goes on and on. We let ourselves break those promises, even the same ones over and over. How much longer will we let this go on? We wouldn't tolerate this behavior from others, yet we do it to ourselves.  "Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You'll always know." - Naval Ravikant. No one else may not know but you always will. How many more promises are you going to keep breaking to yourself? Is this how you would treat your family and friends? Maybe this is the reason why you have doubts. You've encountered your own example of the many t

Free Will

we all have a meeting with our fate
we are all destined to do what we came here to do
we all have that moment when we realize this is it
we are the choice to act on it or not

our free will is to decide to act on our fate or not
our fate chooses us, we choose to do or not to do
if you free will not to do, your life may be fine but it will not be fulfilled and there always be a longing

if you fate, you will become fully realized

Your Last Time

Seneca wrote a beautiful piece on the shortness of life. We all have our routines, our ways, responsibilities and tasks we must attend to. We have to get them done, we have to meet our obligations. We may even have good habits that took work to establish. When we do them without being thoughtful, we get into the routine and automated process of doing. We don't take the deliberate and purposeful way. What we need to make sure is that we never forget how short this life is.  When doing our tasks, routines and habits, remember that we may be doing them today for the last time. The people we encounter, from strangers to family, may be the last time we encounter them. This puts deep meaning in our lives. This puts all of our actions into perspective. Yes, we have to keep doing them. Yes we have to keep meeting our obligations and expectations. But the attitude we bring to them is completely different when we think that this may be it. This may be the last time. How much more meaningful,

Beyond

It doesn't matter what they look like, how old they are, how big or small. They all have broken hearts that needs mending. Nothing physical on a person really matters. Some of us have disabilities that everyone can see. Those disabilities become the catalyst to hasten the bond, if it breaks, it was weak to begin with, if it becomes stronger, there was nothing that could have kept you two apart.   It's discovering the kind of person they are and what you admire and learn from them.  It’s discovering who you are through their eyes. You have to overcome what you see and feel with your eyes to determine who they are. If their disability is that are very attractive, you have be able to overcome that lens and see deeper, if they are unattractive to your view, you have to uncover what they are beyond that.  The truth lies in determining if they are worth the effort it takes to remove your filter. We think that once i get to know them,  I will decide to love them
