Step 277: Do not expect kudos for being decent

Let’s say you are a non-racist, thoughtful-to-LGBTQA folks, non-sexist, bill-paying-on-time, recycling-sorting, never-kicks-puppies kind of person:

To you I say, and mean it, congratulations. That is awesome. Take a second and feel nice about yourself.

All done? Good. Because those are not things that make you worthy of praise. That shit is standard. Do not expect others to pat you on the back for a lack of assholishness. Pat yourself, and others, on the back when it is merited.

Such a great photo. Yet, it would be nuts to give a squirrel a commercial deal, right?

48 Important Truths I’ve Learned About Life

1. You can’t change other people, and it’s rude to try.

2. If you’re talking to someone you don’t know well, you may be talking to someone who knows way more about whatever you’re talking about than you do.

3. Everyone likes somebody who gets to the point quickly.

4. Bad moods will come and go your whole life, and trying to force them away makes them run deeper and last longer.

5. Children are remarkably honest creatures until we teach them not to be.

6. If everyone in the TV show you’re watching is good-looking, it’s not worth watching.

7. Yelling always makes things worse.

8. Whenever you’re worried about what others will think of you, you’re really just worried about what you’ll think of you.

9. Every problem you have is your responsibility, regardless of who caused it.

10. If you never doubt your beliefs, then you’re wrong a lot.

11. Nobody has it all figured out.

12. Every passing face on the street represents a story every bit as compelling and complicated as yours.

13. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s works alone can teach you everything you need to know about living with grace and happiness.

14. When people are uncomfortable with the present moment, they fidget with their hands or their minds. Watch and see.

15. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.

16. Putting something off makes it instantly harder and scarier.

17. A person who is unafraid to present a candid version of herself to the world is as rare as diamonds.

21. Everyone you meet is better than you at something.

22. Knowledge is belief, nothing more.

41. Anyone can be calmed in an instant by looking at the ocean or the stars.

42. Life is a solo trip, but you’ll have lots of visitors. Some of them are long-term, most aren’t.

43. The fewer possessions you have, the more they do for you.

45. Einstein was wiser than he was intelligent, and he was a genius.

46. Wishing things were different is a great way to torture yourself.

47. The ability to be happy is nothing other than the ability to come to terms with how things change.

48. Killing time is an atrocity. It’s priceless, and it never grows back.

That moment when you're cresting the top of a roller coaster, and you're looking down but you can't see the tracks. You want to throw your hands up in the air and scream, but can't find your voice; you've lost control over your body and couldn't even tell what your name is; no, you're just along for the ride in the blind recognition that the tracks end at some point. Out of sight somewhere, but there.

In that moment there's a flash of fear, because you've lost understanding of yourself and the processes which led up to this moment. And what if you don't make it. But as soon as it is felt, it is over, because you're at that point where you can't think anymore. And when it ends, it's exhilarating, and everything ends up looking a little bit greyer for it.

Welcome to finals season.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive. Howard Thurman
