HAVING/BEING WHAT YOU WANT

• write down what you want

• ask yourself why you want it

• what feeling do you imagine it will provoke in you to have it?

realize that’s your motivation, we want things for the emotional gratification we think it will grant us, the feeling is more so the goal than the acquiring of that specific thing. the paradox is when we realize we want it for the feeling rather than the having the specific thing and realize we can access the feeling before we get the “physical” thing then we reach the state we ultimately want to be in (and think we will be as a result of getting what we want). but we do it the other way around, and our energy is compatible with what we want, because we embody the feeling of having it instead of focusing on not having it, and there’s no resistance in us, and as a result the object/ circumstance of our desire comes to us anyway

• describe the feeling you’ll get from it

example: i want a month long vacation to bali. i want it because it’d be fun

fun is > light, easy. it feels free, feels like playfulness, etc

• the longer you go on when it feels good and fun to do so the more you practice it. if you try to force it you’re better off letting go for a while instead practice it regularly, every day, once a week, you’re welcoming and practicing the vibration no matter what

I’m tired of “gooners” I’m tired of 4chan terms I’m tired of casual racism I’m tired of all this shit we have to pretend is normal so we don’t upset like the few people who conflate their identities with being edgy, racist and insufferable

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

Cows can sit in upright positions while resting. It’s a normal posture they use for comfort and digestion.

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", but it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.
