95% of Self-Work

"Alot of self work can be summarized into; thoughts aren't true, feelings don't require actions, things aren't good or bad they just are, our greatest enemy is ignorance, to change your life change your surroundings, our actions not our past define who we are." 

Explores Moralist Thought. Ignorance = "Evil"; Knowledge = "Good"

Most atrocities people inflict on one another come from ignorance. We don't know something about the other person & if we had absolute context/knowledge then we probably wouldn't try to hurt them. The pursuit of learning should our ultimate purpose in life.

BF Skinner - "People say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, false. If I dehydrate the horse, salt its mouth, put it in the heat, & put its face one inch away from water, I can vertably guaruntee that it will drink." 
    • What is the Behavior that you want / To Drink the Water
    • What are the Conditions you can replicate / The Salt in your Mouth
    • What is the Motivation / The Dehydration
Think of yourself as the horse- How can you increase the liklihood that your behaviors will match the ideal direction you want your life to go in?

The Risks of Distraction

"The biggest risk to your future isn't your competition, it's the distractions you insist on keeping in your life rather than doing the things you know you should be doing but aren't." 

People delay doing the things they don't like for longer than it takes to do them. Eliminate the time between "I think I should do this thing" & beginning to do it.

"Bad stuff sucks the only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many good things." 

The domino fallacy"Bad things happen in threes" No, bad things happen all the time, they only become interrelated if you let them affect your behaviors & mindset. Think- This bad thing occured what can I do to decrease the liklihood that something else bad happens in the meantime? Boil down to Activities & actions to take- How much will a bad thing affect your behavior? The indestructable person has something terrible happen & nothing changes or, they become better
