RE: Methods and Myths - how our ideas can become ideals and what that costs.
This was a great Sunday morning read. And very relevant to me today, although I suppose it is relevant to everyone.

Thank you so much for reading, I am glad it made sense.
I am writing notes to my future self, like I dont trust myself to remember to choose actions more carefully - days are precious and our loved ones deserve the best we can manage each day.
Of course life is never smooth, and we learn from messing it up also :)
Your writing makes it sound like these are thoughts deeply ingrained, or at least that is what I imagined. We have the opposite in common then - I'm always making notes for my future self. Too easy to forget.
biology and philosophy are my interests, but turning insights into actions is not easy when our emotions get in the way.
The whole journey of discovery is a process of healing, and it takes time to practice and embody.
Also what happens is if I can explain something clearly, then I understand it, and the next piece is ready to fall into place - so Steem is like my testing ground - which is why I appreciate your feedback.
Have you ever gone back and read things from 10 or 20 years ago?
Do you think that doing that helps us to be more gentle on ourselves?
I'm in my early thirties, and I'd say only in the last 5 years or so have my thoughts on life been relevant. My diaries from prior are much more simple minded, so not so beneficial for me, but the more recent stuff is. Or, I guess seeing growth always is beneficial. Yes, I do think getting the thoughts on paper/screen is very important. Has a way of clarifying those thoughts so that they are more permanent.
Steemit is an interactive diary for me. I like it when I hear of people using it in the way you are. It's more than a ploy for income.
I found something I wrote when I was in my early 20's, 47 now.
It was also more simplistic, certainly idealistic.
Funny I wrote that I wanted to be able to do the splits as a goal...still working on that one lol..
Anything that is improving is great, helps to build realistic confidence based on competences. Which I guess is much better than complaining about the world and projecting anger and tension....I have tested that and it really sux lol..
Have a great day :)
