Ruthlessly Prioritize

Your first obligation in this lifetime is to maintain and improve your physical condition. Your second obligation is to become more successful. Then you can fulfill your obligations to your friends, loved ones, and the greater community. If you do not radically prioritize your existence for your health then you use up your strength for money. Then when you lose your health you have nothing because you cannot maintain your existence and all you finances will be spent on attempting to restore your wellbeing. First application of this thesis is to do some stretching. This cost you nothing but some time and discipline. Next you must stop procrastinating about losing some weight, seeing a doctor for a check up and blood test, sleeping more soundly, exercising, and improving your nutrition. Satoru

WISDOM

Truth does not stem from reason it stems from belief.  We all believe that what we think is the truth. 

Man is made by his belief. As he believes so he is. Bhagavad Gita

The most difficult things to learn are new ways of acting and relating.  Because before we learn new actions we have to unlearn the patterns and procedures that we have already set up, disregard them and change, then learn something new.  This is the process of creation.  This is why good artists have to be objective and flexible.  Can we extrapolate this creativity toward other aspects of our lives? Can we bring more imagination to our work, loves, friends, business, our health, and aspirations? Satoru

Illumination

I always wanted to have my way. Perhaps it was control or maybe that’s the way I thought I could get what I wanted in life. Maybe it was a young way of thinking. When at last I began to settle for eighty percent of what I wanted, my life became richer, more fulfilled and expanded to much closer to what I not only wanted but what I could achieve.

He who settles doesn’t tangle, since ‘a bird in hand is better than two in the bush’. And I say that a woman’s counsel is bad, but he who won’t take it is mad. Cervantes, Don Quixote

Take the brick wall of the past and put it in the future and there is none.  Satoru

Sunrise

The sun came up and the rooster crowed. The farmer came out of his house and feed the chickens and gathered the eggs. The rooster strutted around the yard and chased some chickens. The sun came up and the roster crowed. The farmer came out of his house and feed the chickens and gathered the eggs. The rooster strutted around the yard and chased some chickens. The sun came up and the rooster crowed. The farmer came out of his house and feed the chickens and gathered the eggs and cut off the roosters head.

Just because the sun comes up we cannot assume the day will be the same. If we repeat the same actions we will usually get the same results but one day we may get our heads chopped off. Repetition and redundancy are not growth. If we want to grow and prosper we must make changes in our day-to-day lives.

ATTITUDE / GROWTH

Alone is also all one.

Newton’s third law of motion is also a blueprint for how people and things react in real life. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

“The motivation to explore and create usually is restrained and is wiped out by the forces within the society.”
B.F.Skinner in Walden Two.

Live a good, honorable life. Then, when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
