Life Principles

If there exists an action that I am afraid to do, but I know is good for me to do, others advise me to do, then I must do it moreso because I am afraid.

This is for several reasons, for one, if I know its good for me to do it, then I should do it, feat should not be a deciding factor. But also, if I am afraid of doing it, then that means it is something uncommon. I am not an average person, so I need to do uncommon or unaverage things. Moreso, if I am afraid, then I should do it because it will help build courage.

I learn meta skills, unorthodox skills, I see the big picture

I learn how to learn, I learn how to plan, I learn time management

Life is more valuable in the future

Intentionality is Key

Intentionality as I define it is acting in ways aligned with your goals. It is the opposite of acting based on short term feelings, pleasures, or randomly.

You Don't Know Yourself

In general, it is possible for you to exactly who you are or why you do what you do. this is revealed by the [[split-brain-experiment]] where the brain makes up reasons for why it made specific decisions. Therefore, when giving reasons why you did something, always to open for future re-evaluation as to why you did it and acknowledge you do not, and cannot entirely know. This is also related to priming in psychology when you are primed to be more likely to make a decision, such as [[how-your-unconscious-mind-rules-your-behaviour:-leonard-mlodinow-at-tedxreset-2013]]

Making good decisions, being "strict" when I am young will lead to extreme wealth generation because of compounding.
