#777 Waking up
|
|
|
|
|
“A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And—how many of us do know it? Not Lotze. Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up.”

|
|
|
|
|
Be not afraid of laziness: some are born lazy, some achieve laziness, and some have laziness thrust upon them.

163/365 Find Your Torture
|
|
|
|
|
On the Howard Stern show, Jerry Seinfeld was explaining how it never gets easier. How it is all work. He joked that “your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with.” For me, that’s writing—I’m grateful that it’s so hard. That Allen Iverson clip: We’re talking about practice. Yeah, love practice. The best ones always do.

162/365 Creative work isn’t about pleasure
|
|
|
|
|
Creative work isn’t about pleasure. It’s not always fun. It’s about reaching something inside yourself—something that society and everyday life make extraordinarily difficult. This is one way to do it.

161/365 You do have options
|
|
|
|
|
Completing this quest has two benefits. First, when you imagine the worst possible reaction you could have to adversity, you highlight your agency in the situation. You do have options. And as long as you’re not doing that worst possible, least helpful thing, you can challenge yourself to do something better. It may not feel like total agency and choice, but it involves some agency and choice—and that’s enough to activate a challenge mindset.

160/365 Peace and joy
|
|
|
|
|
Peace and joy are the default states of mind. They don’t have to be created—they just need to be accessed.
