Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Fearkiller Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 From reddit: What is a single piece of advice you've either received or discovered (from any source) that you've had the greatest amount of success with? http://www.reddit.com/r/ZenHabits/comments/2d4y6l/what_is_a_single_piece_of_advice_youve_either/ "Bettermentflux:What would -slightly- more awesome (insert my name) do right now?" I frequently ask myself "What would -slightly- more awesome (insert my name) do right now?" Then I do that thing.It works for me because I almost always know the answer, it's low pressure, focused on the present, and it's got a built in next-step. Example: What would slightly awesomer version of me do right now? He'd get off the couch/do that thing he's been putting off/do 10 more reps/phone his mother/read a book/whatever...) Why low pressure? Perfect me would already have all his homework done. But slightly better version of me only has to put the video game down now and do this one assignment. The tactic creates long term positive consequences and next steps that become clear over time.Don't worry about quitting smoking forever. Ask yourself if slightly awesomer (insert your name) would smoke this cigarette or if slightly awesomer (insert your name) would summon the courage to ask that hottie out on a date. Keep asking yourself the question and three years later you discover that you're a non-smoker with a smoking [hot] girlfriend and you're wondering what slightly more awesome you would do next. (Hint: He'd sign off of reddit and go for a Sunday walk)." The whole text kinda flows nicely. Liked it a lot. The 'non-smoker with a smoking girlfriend' part makes no sense to me though. It might be a typo. Edit: Ah.

Moros Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 "Crossing at a ford" means, for example, crossing the sea at a strait, or crossing over a hundred miles of broad sea at a crossing place. I believe this "crossing at a ford" occurs often in a man's lifetime. . It means setting sail even though you friends stay in harbour, knowing the route, knowing the soundness of your ship and the favour of the day. When all the conditions are meet, and there is perhaps a favourable wind, or a tailwind, then set sail. If the wind changes within a few miles of your destination, you must row across the remaining distance without sail. If you attain this spirit, it applies to everyday life. You must always think of crossing at a ford." - Miyamoto MusashiA Book of Five Rings And: Quote Rebooting Ranger and Legionary "Only a Dead Legionary Gives Up" - Day of the Starwind "It always seems bad at first, but then I find a way" - Samurai Jack Link to comment

Fearkiller Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 What I wanted to share was those I found those to be an excellent snapshots of deep topics.What I am struggling with is: how do I apply them to my daily life?Vulnerability, not blaming?Even on the replies here on NF I seem not to find helpful things to say.But I would like to help people. Bah, couldn't embed youtube videos - there's the embed and stuff,and I tried copypasting it to different things in the text editor iconsbut it shows only some weird things that are not working. Seems like you just paste the generic video url and it shows just fine.Well, that's one thing learned. 1 Quote "There is beauty in hardship / There are poems in grief" -Assemblage 23, Damaged | STR:2.25 | DEX:2.25 | STA:2 | CON:1.25 | CHA:3.25 | WIS:7 | A place I will collect my woots - if I remember Challenges | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 15.1 | 15.2 | Milythaels' HOoRAY for which I am grateful | Today, right now, I am alive.

SjardisDead Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 “Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and the Iron into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind.†–Henry Rollins “When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no ‘I’ll start tomorrow.’ Tomorrow is disease.†– V.L. Allinear “When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot become manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth is useless, and reason is powerless.†– Herophiles “To feel strong, to walk amongst humans with a tremendous feeling of confidence and superiority is not at all wrong. The sense of superiority in bodily strength is born out by the long history of mankind paying homage in folklore, song and poetry to strong menâ€. – Fred Hatfield "Get rid of all the excess in life.

Fearkiller Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Your Authentic Voice, somewhere in there, knows all about you.In contrast to the black-and-white simplicity of the Social Survival Mammoth,your Authentic Voice is complex, sometimes hazy, constantly evolving, and unafraid.Your AV has its own, nuanced moral code, formed by experience, reflection,and its own personal take on compassion and integrity.It knows how you feel deep down about things like money and family and marriage,and it knows which kinds of people, topics of interest,and types of activities you truly enjoy, and which you don’t.Your AV knows that it doesn’t know how your life will or should play out,but it tends to have a strong hunch about the right step to take next.http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/06/taming-mammoth-let-peoples-opinions-run-life.html Quote "There is beauty in hardship / There are poems in grief" -Assemblage 23, Damaged | STR:2.25 | DEX:2.25 | STA:2 | CON:1.25 | CHA:3.25 | WIS:7 | A place I will collect my woots - if I remember Challenges | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 15.1 | 15.2 | Milythaels' HOoRAY for which I am grateful | Today, right now, I am alive.
