This is not meant to be some exultation of how I’ve ascended, I still need to remind myself of these rules. The journey is never over. I conceive of this as a set of rules because that is how I personally understand it. This is not a prescription for other people to live their lives, these are mine to guide myself going forward. It is some of this growth I’ve been pursuing that have made it undesireable to write recently as I have been considering what’s worth sharing.
- The work of self-work is never finished, every moment of every day are chances to improve yourself physically, spiritually or mentally.
- Consider what you say strongly before saying it, even in your own thoughts. The way you talk or think influences how you and others feel.
- Many things cannot be influenced chiefly the past. There will be failures and setbacks but it’s better move forward than dwell on them. Mistakes will be made and thinking on them wont change them, it’s better to recognize how they are teachable moments.
- It is acceptable to think on yourself in the way of how to improve but thinking there’s no room for growth is arrogance. There’s little wrong with pursuing perfection but understand it’s essentially impossible and thus mustn’t be pursued too strongly. Seeking control over various aspects of life may be desired but in many cases is not possible.
- Indulgence, excess, and comfort foster weakness by preventing improvement.
