Life Direction
Blog #0002 - Make a change to the world.
Average Life Expectancy is 73.5 years (3835 weeks).
We probably only live once, and should fight for this one. It takes time for changes to happen and habits to form, let's say we make one meaningful changes each week, it still isn't that many chances to waste.
I was (am) directionless, and a change is needed.
I know willpower is not enough, I need to change the aim and focus, then develop a strategy.
Reading books is the first thing I need to pick up now.
Starting with these 2 books, one in micro, one in macro sense:
-
Own Your Past, Change Your Future by Dr. John Delony. To heal from my mental health struggle for the past 10 years. Knowing the cracks are just signs for a change, not the end of the stories.
-
The Catholic Study Bible by Oxford University Press. Albeit not for religious reason, but to learn from history; through the writings and commentaries, we can see how the early Orthodox Christians are advocating for this big shift. A shift from self-centred life to a self-sacrificing love, willing the good of others. (PS: Which the movement itself could be seen as quite anti-religious anyway, in comparison to modern day Protestantism and medieval literal view of heaven, hell, etc.)
