Practical Wisdom – Part1: Bits of Self-reflection

On the process completion⚠️

I tried to gather my ideas together to come up with sentences that are helpful. I call them “Practical Wisdom” because I believe they can be put to work if I try my best.

1. We’re prone to bad habits, don’t make any.
2. Your personality and your habits are interlinked. The more you repeat something, the more it will become a part of you.
3. Be concise about what you want because there is a higher possibility of acting upon something you know more details about.
4. Don’t try to be against the adversity of the universe. Try to get some help.
5. You need self-reflection to resolve your problem.
6. The problems of your close people at the first step and then your society’s issues will become a part of you, so you’d better care about them and look at them as yours instead of neglect and denial.
7. Try to be an understanding person for your family and friends.
8. They call em “painkillers” but I hope they’re just killing the pain. Because with every removed feeling, part of your “self” is diminished.
9. The variety of feelings you feel shows how human you can be. The more you feel, the bigger you grasp “humanity” and its failures as a unification of experience and the “self”.
10. You never fully understand the other one, but you can try.
11. Dismantle your thoughts until they become you and you become them.
12. Be cautious about who you’re friends with because your choices on this topic can be detrimental.
13.  Be relentless about something you’re reluctant about.
14. The purpose of life is how much you attain growth through your experiences and how much you refine yourself (your character, beliefs, persona, and briefly the “self”) after passing every failure.
15. Accumulation ends up procrastination and as they grow together, you will be entangled in your own trap of negative feelings and spiraling thoughts.
16. The more you identify your needs, the more you can deal with them.
17. Growth requires change and it often comes with a degree of discomfort(pain).
18. You are your thoughts and your thoughts are you.
19. The past hasn’t gone. It’s your mind-living narrative that you look into life with.
20. We can divide feelings based on productivity: negative and positive But you cannot put stickers on feelings as negative or positive, bad or good based on their nature.
21. Infiltration with people and society helps you to grow and repair. So don’t just live in your internal world. Try to get out of it sometimes.
22. Don’t underscore the worth and influence of repetition.
23. Transitional morphing is accompanied by bowls of pain. By passing each phase, things get harder.
24. No one has a promising future as long as they haven’t tried.
25. Don’t magnify people’s achievements.
26. The people you envy, they envy you back.

46. Kiss of the death can be the quickest feeling of ease that is capable of fulfilling a human with the sense of abandonment from physical pain and suffering.
47. Your belief is valuable so you need to be careful where you put it and to whom.

53. The words are not just the source of information. They have a long history. There is a “why” to every word and sentence you articulate. Ask yourself  “why” to choose them more wisely.

56. There is no need to deny as long as you have such a strong weapon (or I’d better call it a “tool”) as writing. Writing makes everything easier.
57. Habits are you and you’re your habits. If you keep the good ones and break the bad ones, every day you’ll become one step closer to your better self. (Don’t say “best version of yourself” because there is no such thing as we define it. The best is infinite as you’re)
58. Perfectionism is not a bad thing. It turns out to be bad because of your lack of control and experience.
