If you simply just don’t want something you cannot force yourself to “just want it”, that doesn’t make sense. The people that are obsessed with something have a natural urge or very strong and deep reasoning behind it that cannot be just thought to yourself.

We always quickly tend to look at what is going wrong or what we did wrong to try and fix our flaws and avoid making the same “mistakes” or trying to improve but I think that fixing our flaws will never takes us as far as doubling down on our natural given strengths.

In my experience, the only things that’s keeping me from doing or achieving the things I want to pursue is some kind of fear and being scared for some worst case scenario. But really thinking deep about that worst case scenario: it’s never really that bad.

Sometimes we just find ourselves in a position where we’re much further back than where we once were. That’s hard to accept because we know we can do better, and we’ve done better, but things just go the way they go and sometimes we just need to start over at the beginning.

In an entropic world, structures and calendar-keeping reduce any chance of discovering something new. Great opportunities arise in entropy, not in structures and disciplines.

The stretch of doing everything, seeing nothing and wondering what is the problem. Everything always takes much more time and effort than we think which makes us quit way before we even did the bare minimum amount of work.

We might think that the decisions we make in our own affairs don’t have that much effect on other people’s lives but that’s not true at all.
The results of our actions influence the lives of a lot of people around us and could actually have a big impact. That’s why I think we can’t think too easily about what we do and how we act and react.

Experiencing (or having experienced) any form of burnout is very hard to deal with. Maybe not only the fact you have to go through it but maybe just as much having to deal with the opinions from others around this matter. In my opinion, being burnt out is not directly your fault but a gathering of different aspects that drift you off from your own human nature.

There’s nothing worse than always being told what to do and what to think by others. Not everybody is trying to do the same things and even trying to help people prevent mistakes is basically taking away an important lesson from them and not helping them at all.

If there’s no motivation to do something and you have to fight yourself to do it, there’s something misaligned because if you do something that you really want to do, there’s never a lack of motivation.
