Making Mistakes

Mistakes happen so that we can learn from them... What exactly are you supposed to do if you fall down and you decide, oh well, im a failure, I may as well stay down here where I belong.... NO F@#$#$^@ing way bro! You don't stay on the floor if you fall.... you get right the F back up and go about conquering the world.

Right, so by this massively simplistic analogy, if you mess up at work, or in your life by not working out, doing something wrong for the first time, or just because of human error (we all mess up somewhere and somehow- it's how we learn!!! DUHHHH),
you need to treat it the same as when you fell... First off....

Answer me this? If you fall down, why is your reaction to get up? WHat purpose does standing really serve you? If you answered survival, you would probably be right....
Let us refine this assertion some more. If our purpose is to survive, and by standing we are doing something that will help survive, should we just stop once we have achieved fully erect?!@

No, we go walking for some food.

By this logic, we are acting in a way that not only puts us on a path to survival but we do it so that we can survive in the best possible way.

We must currently define best: best being that which is more desirable or by opposing, that which is of a lesser of two negatives.

In all interactions, humans must make both a prediction and a decision. Every moment the feedback loop is closed and we go about our lives, oblivious to these sub-routines of the unconscious sort. There for, there must be a logic by which we define our actions unconsciously to achieve a desired result- that of survival....The bigger question is who programs the end result?

Ultimately, we both know the answer to this. You DECIDE your end result. It is easier to achieve the minimum then it is to thrive... However, which is the greater negative? Surviving minimally, or thriving with some effort.

Is human effort and the expenditure of energy worse then say taking it easy.

This is the greatest trick of the mind that must be overcome in order to truly understand ones potential and thrive rather then subsist.
Mastery of these mechanisms is the difference between a fantastic life and one of subdued happiness and perforated serenity.

The difference that you have control over is the logic of the mind and the systems throgh which the logic is effected through. Your body is a machine. What you feed it and how you tone it will determine how effective it will be at effectuating your will.

The Greeks believed in the link between a healthy body and a clear mind- the link has been proven by the scientific method and is beyond hypothesis. One must achieve a healthy body before one may attempt to stand back up.

Equipped with a new machine, we now must program the logic controllers so that the machine can operate with the least amount of WILL POWER- that is to say will power is the expenditure of energy, and we must decide fast how to mitigate the electrical toll.

One solution to the above supposition is to automate our actions so that will power takes the back seat to habit. Formulation of habit can optimize the body machine to achieve maximum results.

If you do not perform these simple maintenance routines, you are not following a survival driven code built to thrive, and are not justified in your excuses.

Take the initial step of recognizing the steps.... then leap with faith to a decision to change.
