Hi friends,
Today's post is going to be a reminder for myself that no matter how rudimentary a lesson that I've learned, I've always to remember that the benefits of it is not going to be something that I'm going to experience in the next few moments. Best advice are felt when you turn it into habits.
A recently new concept I've been reading is the aggregation of marginal gains which in essence says that overall positive impact starts with 1% improvement in the smallest of aspects. In theory, if you work on to improve even 1% of the daily task that you're doing and to do it continuously everyday, eventually the full benefit of it can be felt.
So that is what I'm doing right now. I'm nurturing a habit to always jot down 1 lesson that I've learned throughout the day. The lesson could be sourced from online readings, my own thought process or even an experience that I once had. Whatever it is, the goal from this lesson learnt is so that I could take action on those lessons and create a more positive environment for my life. This is definitely not something that I will be hard on to myself. I should already aspect that things may not go my way in terms of probably putting the lesson into actions but if I get to maintain this discipline of learning 1 lesson per day, that is good enough. In the grand scale of things, at least by doing this, I will be 1% better than me from a month ago.
With that said, here are 5 lessons I've learned last week.
30 Sep - Ask yourself "why" before reading anything.
1 Oct - To observe without judging.
2 Oct - To pursue what is meaningful, not what is convenient.
3 Oct - Mentally strong people don't blame the things they can't control.
4 Oct - Think like a kid to be creative.
There are tons of stories and elaborations that could be made to further explain the lessons listed there. But I like writing just the general ideas there so that all the other explanation changes, adapts and improves every time I give my thoughts looking back at the list.
If I could give a one sentence summary of this whole idea is that, you have to alleviate all constraint and let your mind roam free to find ideas that transcends reality.
Stay wild my friends.
