Detachment from outcome

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @Manikese 22 Sep

This is so important! While in a deprogramming mode I learned to shift any energy or thoughts from expectation to intention.

This! We love scheming and trying to control our little worlds and then end up devastated when life comes at you fast

💯 people these days like to talk about manifestation but most are unable to detach from outcome and it's absolutely key.

Saying no, it's very difficult. Specially for Indians

Specially for Indians? How?

Because we are taught this since childhood. Never say no to elders. Whatever he says should be followed.

Is it remnants of opression by the Brits over centuries or a totally "internal" cultural thing?

I worked with a bunch of people from India in a corporate setting. But even though we were all peers, the Indians always behaved subserviently, never pushing back when it it was needed (even if they had the expertise). This made me very angry, because it lead to many stupid mistakes because someone didn't speak up in time.

I kept quiet because I feared it would come accross as racist but sometimes I felt like screaming "stop behaving like you're still slaves of the white man".

For me its remembering dates. I'm the most diligent while remembering until one or two days before any occasion but on the day I forget.

11 sats \ 0 replies \ @BitcoinAbhi OP 23 Sep

Nowadays, you can set reminders for this in your mobile.

Remembering names

13 sats \ 0 replies \ @dayOldDonuts 22 Sep

I very much agree. I take a moment to attempt to commit a person's name to memory when meeting them for the first time, and then using that person's name later in the conversation. This seems to be very important for interpersonal communications but is so rarely done. Most people ask "what's your name again?" which is precisely how I commit the person's name to my memory. I ask that question and answer it in my mind after I hear their name.

I empathize.

One of the greatest skills for society, for sure.

Cooking. I freekin love cooking! Better than I love coding HTML. LOL! I find it to be a rather meditative practice. Away from the binary, where failure can sometimes be a success. I am so happy I took foods in high school. Where I learned “mise en place” a French culinary phrase for gathering your ingredients and setting up before the cooking. You use a lot of containers for stuff, but it has made the cooking process so much more linear and smoother.

Thank God for my wife.

Cooking. It's the only way to be truly healthy and everything else in life flows from good health.

Is there any greater path to walk?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave 22 Sep

Not for me. It is scary at times but the gifts that come are ......

11 sats \ 4 replies \ @dontforgetthekeys 22 Sep

I'd like to push it a step further, love thyself. We all know ourselves but the struggle comes with accepting and loving ourselves.

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @DesertDave 22 Sep

Most are completely consumed with the exterior devoid of innerstanding.

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @dontforgetthekeys 22 Sep

I haven't had the pleasure, but I'm always reminded that others enjoy the bliss of ignorance. Regardless, the work truly begins with loving yourself.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave 22 Sep

What are we loving? And what is love? Only when we cast light in our shadows, and find our true self, can we fully love inside or outward.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @DesertDave 22 Sep

The path of Knowing thyself is loving thyself. I would disagree with "we all know ourselves"

Although it may sound vulgar and rude, the most underrated skill is prostitution... something that if we think about it, everyone who asks would say "It's easy"... but at some point have you stopped to think about the disgust... displeasure... humiliation... and several terms that would be valid for a job where everyone sees you as an object with a price... that you can touch as you want! regardless of what that human being feels!! many of them exploited by criminal mafias as is the case in South America... people who feel and that the majority did not choose to be there with that job and in that place of the night... If you ask me a skill that nobody considers...

I was thinking "Saying no", but went with "relaxing". We live in the most materially abundant time in history, and yet many people act as though they're teetering on the abyss.

Relax and enjoy your life a little bit.
