There are only TWO GOALS: a simplified framework of action

  • Action is required because, if we do nothing, things fall apart. So goal-directed behavior is part and parcel of the human experience. However, in the near-infinite domain of human action, there are really only two goals, two avenues for all our efforts: we can either do something that we're not, or not do something that we are. Everything else is bluster, because (at heart) all goals are behavioral.

    This is a lesson I learned from years of playing soccer. Nothing ever ends when you think it will. There is always penalty time, an extension of the struggle with an uncertain duration. Planning for penalty time will help see you through to the real finish line.

    My fitness and physical appearance changed dramatically when I quit doing bad things (consuming almost all sugar, consuming alcohol). Then I quit eating for a few days at a time multiple times a month. Then I started doing a couple easy things: walking everyday for an hour in the sun.
    I went from 235lbs to 172lbs in four months. My skin became radiant, my muscles started to pop, vascularity went up, and overall I was feeling super. Then I added regular weight lifting for 25 minutes three times a week. It was the things that I stopped doing that made the biggest difference. The lifting over a few months wasn't hard either because I didn't do some major mountain moving all at once. I just did a little on the DO side and a lot on the DON'T side and I had people coming up to me at work and church treating me like I was some kind of fitness expert. Funny how that works.

    Before I turned 30, I was laid off twice and had my ex divorced me (he fell for a coworker). I had no $ in the bank and a very old car under my name (ex took the expensive bmw). I thought about it long and hard and started praying for a job that offered financial independence and secured retirement. I was working at a dead end secretarial job when I got into a public sextor job in a very large jurisdiction (don’t go for small cities or counties because the pension and job security aren’t good). I never aspired to manage people and wanted to be left alone; not good at all in private sectors. This was my long term vision; no worrying about job, money, and retirement and not relying on a man to provide. I retired laster year without debt and a house paid for. I remain single and childless. I set and achieved many short term goals in fitness and travel. I dated good guys and had a lot of fond memories. I wouldn’t say my choices are the absolute very best for me but all things considered I am pretty satisfied.

    Very true. You can be a highly motivated individual, but a hangover the following day could stop you from taking action. So stopping bad habits is more of a priority than actually doing something good.

    The 2 should be done in tandem, since I've never actually seen someone stop doing something harmful or unproductive without having the positive behavior set up. From how I understand human psychology, pain and suffering are preferable to the absence of emotion. The Void is alien in its nature, but suffering is at least familiar and thus gives comfort. Much love for the videos!

    Sure, don't spread yourself too thin with your focus and time. Often, to internalize and absorb a subject or skill requires hyper focus on a single thing. And yes , destroying everything you built happens a hell of a lot faster than the time invested to build it. However, since everything crumbles and dies, It is so important to find the positive and contentment WHILE THINGS ARE FALLING APART OR IN DISARRAY. this took me a lot of bad times to figure out, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOOD here, it might not be exactly what you want, but find some strength were it may be

    I know you stated you can only have one goal at a time but why can't you set a goal to stop something while setting another goal to start something? Meaning say you want to stop an addiction but doing so creates a (time) void. You could then start working out in order to fill that void.

    is improving a skill a goal? For example, I am working on getting better at playing piano - but I don't have any way to measure how much I have improved. I love the mental state of applying my time and energy to it and feeling how I get better. Maybe maintaining that mental state is the actual goal in this case?

  • @mikerotchburns42069
    @mikerotchburns42069 Před rokem +1

    I agree with most of this, but I disagree with the idea of only integrating only one thing at a time. If you break your time into block segments, you can dedicate a certain amount of time each day to different goals. IE: block out time for cooking/diet, exercise, and side hustle all independent of each other.
    The key that I’ve found to making this work is to solely focus on the goal at hand - but perhaps attaining this focus ability is a goal needing achieved first 😁

    Told 2 woman if theyr ever reach out to me I would destroy every last good memory they have of me. Years have passed and not a single word, yet I'm 100% ready for the first word out of their mouth as long as they live. They had Zero accountability for the lack of effort to be responsible for their lack Character Values and ignorance of Virtue. After 16 months of seeing exactly who was a friend. Turns out all I had were enemies therefore I banished every last person in my past for their own freewill choices and behavors. When a good Men gets shit on by others for being generous and kind yet blunt and direct when necessary.. From my life experience humanity is shit society has shown me how much character value matters. This Primary Psycopath has changed. I really didn't want to keep that learned behavor. You all must have adapted to experiencing Cognitive Dissonance. Don't worry your genetic mutation will include your favorate emotional states that were actively sought out with extreme desire for selfish intentions.
