The most brilliant epiphanies of life are only momentary. You look at some past moment when you had it all figured out most of the time you were so wrong. Isn't that the way it works things are far to complicated to ever actually figure out, you are only aloud to get such a grasp on them that you think you may understand. I once created a list of lets say rules to successfully live life by. This rule would minimize stupid mistakes, beckon success.
Problem is I can't remember the, I'm pretty sure they were brilliant though, I remember a couple of them.
1. always strive to be as happy as possible
2. don't do things you know you will regret
3. don't regret the things you do
4. Figure out what you want and make it happen.
I'm pretty sure there were at least 7-8 I guess those are the ones that stuck with me. I guess some things do continue to be useful. Look towards the future, if what your doing now won't effect it, figure out what will. You don't want to constantly live in the moment, it just doesn't get you anywhere. Eventually you wake up and wonder where all the time went. I can tell you a couple places
television, internet, commuting.
I will not an extremist and say don't ever watch tv or use the internet, I would just be conscious about why you are doing it and what you could be doing with that time. 1 hour a day, you could learn to dance, martial arts, fix computer, programming, learn a foreign language, fix your car, paint your house, sew, do your laundry, cook a delicious dinner, or decorate. You could live. but instead, instead you zone, you seek entertainment, you accomplish nothing, you learn nothing, you must de-stress yourself, and lets face it people, we're wimps, there just isn't that much to be stressed about. In fact the only reason we think we are stressed is our obsessive focus on relaxation. So set down the remote and find something bloody useful to do, you never know when it might come in handy.
