Make sure you PRIORITIZE care of your temple before you PRIORITIZE adorning/decorating it. This will make your final product the most beautiful it can be. Your final touch and secret weapon will be a sound mind and a functional AND beautiful body 😉😊

The representation of romance in media where the couple is the center of each other’s world and leaving family is total, absolute, and necessary for their love is damaging and in inaccurate 🤷

Entertainment is no longer entertaining but instead a distraction. We don’t scroll to educate ourselves, we scroll to kill time. We don’t post to educate others, we post for self gratification and a sense of popularity. Always remember to give the world your truth when you use your online presence. This is your weapon and not your escape. Work to change the world and you will change for the better.

Putting a price on knowledge is a mistake but so is making learning a temporary process. The best way to live is to always be ready to learn and grow but also teach. Failure and mistakes are stigmatized but perfectly natural and a part of the growth process.

Never be ashamed of making mistakes but always gracefully own them and work to improve.

working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry i’m just heated about capitalism again i’ll be fine

[fbdbsgdg]

8 days....never thought about it like that 😓

[revere-irreverence]

This seems really whiny to me. Like, I agree with you, work sucks, but our ancestors didn’t get to browse tumblr at their desks or have the option to gleefully spend their ENTIRE WEEKENDS horizontal on the couch stuffing their faces/watching tv/playing video games/wacking off.  They didn’t have weekends. They just slaved away as fucking peasants from dawn to dusk until they died in childbirth or got the consumption.

I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I don’t have to:

grow my own food

find my own clean water

heat my house

shit in the woods

Hi, I study social and cultural anthropology. Humans working 40+ hours a week is 100% an industrial revolution thing and was not normal in the early stages of our existence. In fact, hunter and gatherer societies that still exist to this day spend about 15-20 hours a week TOPS working. The rest is dedicated to sitting around and telling stories and jokes, dancing, singing, eating, sleeping, fucking and so forth. Read a damn book.

The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant

Medieval peasants lived grueling, terrible lives. But their vacation days beat out the policies now common even in progressive societies.

[bookwyrmth1rt33n]

🤔😬😡

[patentlyabsurdrpgideas]

When the medieval peasant - the iconic, screwed over, worst off person of pop culture - had more days and time off than you, something’s gone wrong. And apparently something has been wrong for a while now...

💖✨THE HAPPIEST YOULL EVER BE IS WHEN YOU START TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WANTS✨💖

I learned what self-discipline was today.

I learned what a lack of self discipline is too. I believe that understanding the feelings of guilt and shame, in addition to controlling our emotions, are the keys to get us there. Shame and guilt occur when we or others acknowledge failure to reach a personal goal or sometimes a failure to prioritize the proper goals. I believe shame and guilt are ultimately a response to lack of self-discipline.

A scenario: When we think: “Oh man they’ll notice how messy it is in here” what we really mean is: “They’ll notice I don’t make cleaning a priority task.” And we believe others will create judgements of character such as: lazy, bad at time management, gross etc.. All of these traits are associated with lacking self-discipline.

Self-discipline is sacrificing smaller immediate gratifications that will result in guilt and shame and sacrificing our time and attention. Eventually all of the sacrifices we make will manifest into our ultimate goals. The smaller instant gratifications that lead to shame and guilt don’t last very long because we know that they are taking energy from the progress of our most important desires and are not worth the price.

I believe self discipline is different for everyone because we all have different goals. Despite this anyone can achieve self-discipline once we learn that self-discipline is fuel to drive us to our goals when we run empty of motivation.

(sounds kinda like keeping a commitment to ourselves)

Hopefully now that I have learned this principle I can apply it into practice.
