  • On Decisions - On Emotion

    If you just one of billions of living humans ever to live, on a tiny speck of dust spinning on a rock in a vast cosmic arena, doesn’t it make sense to just live life driven entirely by emotion?

    October 21, 2018 - By Dave

    If no one is going to remember you eventually and you are just one of the billions that are alive right now and will go down as just one of the scores of billions that have ever left, what difference does it make whether you live your life pured basically on what your heart tells you to do? Whether that’s…

  • On Decisions

    Do you have to make a decision? Between two (or more) things you like/love/want? This could be how to do it.

    July 27, 2018 - By Dave

    What’s your dream? Or goal? To go for it, you’re probably going to have to make a decision (or sacrifice). To give something up or to take on something challenging, uncomfortable, uncertain and maybe even potentially difficult. This, from The School of Life, is how you might be able to make the call that is the one you, deep down, truly…

  • On Decisions - On Reason

    Suspend judgement

    April 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Even if you will never get the facts of something, making decisions based purely on emotion leads to decisions that you actually may not have wanted to make. Wait. Breathe. Think. And use your reason, after some time to make decisions. Especially ones that may affect you for a long time, if not for the rest of your life

    ‘I should’ve…’

    April 24, 2018 - By Dave

    That thing you wish you should or shouldn’t have done… It’s possible you think that way as a result of doing that thing. So the information you have now, or the thoughts you have now, or the realisations you’ve made now may not even have been possible had you not done that thing (or done it) in the first place. There is…

  • On Decisions - on my students

    Is the right answer or the right decision (for you) your instinctual first thought? (Inspired by one of my students)

    March 12, 2018 - By Dave

    When you’re asked something, or you need to make a decision, is the one that’s truly the best for you, based on your understanding of yourself and what you truly want the one that comes to you straight away? Without a conscious thought.  If someone asks you your opinion on something or what you want to do about something, Bang.…

  • On Decisions - On Fear

    (A twist on) The Philosophy of: Jerzy Gregorek – Avoiding difficult conversations, shitty life. Initiating honest and difficult conversations, great life

    March 7, 2018 - By Dave

    If you have to make a tough decision, one that you fear –or maybe fear possibly regretting– use your understanding of what makes you happy (and what doesn’t) to initiate tough, possibly uncomfortable conversations to have. If you follow your understanding of what makes you happy now you can’t make a mistake. Otherwise, hope that you’re making the right decision based on…

  • On Decisions

    Visualise both outcomes of your next major decision to make. Vividly.

    March 2, 2018 - By Dave

    If you’re weighing up a decision to make, try thinking deeply about what your life would like on both sides on the decision coin. When tossing up between A or B, think: If I choose A, what does my life look like, and much do I miss B, and how thankful am I chose A? Why exactly? AND If I choose B,…

  • Constant Consciousness - On Being Human - On Consciousness - On Decisions

    Is it possible that your consciousness is what actually makes your life WORSE? Maybe we ask too many questions and analyse too much? Anyway that’s why the name of the site is changing for today.

    February 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Do other mammals, reptiles, blades of couch grass exhibit consciousness? And do they even have any? Or are all their decisions (?) and actions unconsciously performed? All for the good of their own species, own family, own 1×1 metre square of fellow couch grass blades? Sure, an examined life does help you to see what really matters and put things in…

    The things we most avoid doing are the things that we should. Now. (& The Stoicism of: Tim Ferriss & Former champion weightlifter Jerzy Gregorek)

    January 29, 2018 - By Dave

    That thing you’re avoiding doing, that conversation you’re avoiding having, that decision you’re afraid to make… do it. Now. Before you do it, you are chained to fear of it, and fear and paralysis from inaction and the status quo. Be honest with yourself and with the people in your life (even if it leads to a more difficult situation…

  • On Decisions - On Regret

    Do you have to make a major decision? A decision between two things? Two things you’re worried you’ll regret if you choose ‘wrong’? And do you have complete control of that decision? This could be how to decide, based on what is actually best for YOU.

    January 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Question 1: Do you have to choose between two things?  Question 2: Is it a major decision (in your perspective)? #3: Are you worried that if you choose one, you’ll regret not choosing the other (and vice versa)? #4: Do you have control over the decision?   Okay, so try this: Think about this…  Imagine you choose one out of…
