This is a good reminder of the importance of self-awareness. We don’t have to get drunk in the morning and we have to get distracted by other people’s stuff or things that seem to be going on in our heads. But it’s also good to remember that we are not going to be doing our jobs all day long. We need to just get the thing we want done.
I’ll admit it, I don’t have much self-awareness. I tend to get my own way, and I don’t have a clue as to why I’m doing what I’m doing. I always seem to want to do something, and then I end up getting my own way or doing something that is completely wrong. I’m sure there are other things I should be doing, but I just don’t know them. Maybe this is a good thing, though.
Self-awareness is a good thing, but it is not a good thing if we forget ourselves. I am pretty sure that this is what happened to Colt Vahn. It’s just that he might not even know what he did to cause the crash or how he ended up there.
You can also take some time to think about the reason why Im doing what Im doing, but I don’t know how to do it. I guess if Im making stupid mistakes on my own, I can always just go on a little blog, and just take a few minutes to think about them.I also don’t think I need to know your own reason why Im doing what Im doing, because Im having to think about the reason why Im doing what Im doing.
It’s like if you were in the middle of a marathon and you had to decide where to stop. You could walk down the street as fast as you could and hope you weren’t recognized, or you could just walk away and hope no one is watching you. If you decide to walk away, you might not get home in time, or you might not get to your car, but you’ll be able to start over.
People who are on autopilot, like myself, are often the ones trying to figure out where to stop. Our minds are always working on some type of problem, so when trying to figure out where to stop, we are typically just doing it blind.
This is a big topic, but the fact is that we are all on autopilot, because as Aristotle says, “to do without thinking is to do without being.” This is why a lot of things in our lives are so automatic. We are so busy being that we don’t have time to think about what’s going on. If we did, we’d have to figure out how to stop it ourselves.
To stop, we have to stop. To stop from doing one thing, we have to do it for the rest of our lives. That is the beauty of it.
I know I said this, but I can make it clear that I’m not going to do it alone. If you want to be a better writer, you should try your hand at writing a book. You should write a book. You should write a poem. You should write a song. Write a song. Make it into a film based on that.
