Four Rules For A Disciplined Life

Four rules for a disciplined life

(Credit to reddit user ryans01).

No zero days. ‘What’s a zero day? A zero day is when you don’t do a single fucking thing towards whatever dream or goal or want or whatever that you got going on. No more zeros. I’m not saying you gotta bust an essay out everyday, that’s not the point. The point I’m trying to make is that you have to make yourself, promise yourself, that the new SYSTEM you live in is a NON-ZERO system. Didn’t do anything all fucking day and it’s 11:58 PM? Write one sentence. One pushup. Read one page of that chapter. One. Because one is non zero.’

Be grateful to the three yous. ‘There’s the past you, the present you, and the future you. If you wanna love someone and have someone love you back, you gotta learn to love yourself, and the 3 you’s are the key. Be GRATEFUL to the past you for the positive things you’ve done. And do favours for the future you like you would for your best bro.’

Forgive yourself. ‘Maybe you got all the know-how, money, ability, strength and talent to do whatever is you wanna do. But lets say you still didn’t do it. Now you’re giving yourself shit for not doing what you need to, to be who you want to. Heads up champion, being disappointed in yourself causes you to be less productive. Tried your best to have a nonzero day yesterday and it failed? So what. I forgive you, previous self. I forgive you. But today? Today is a nonzero masterpiece to the best of my ability for future self. This one’s for you, future homes. Forgiveness man, use it. I forgive you. Say it out loud.’

Exercise and books. ‘Pretty standard advice but when you exercise daily you actually get smarter. When you exercise you get high from endorphins (thanks body). When you exercise you clear your mind. When you exercise you are doing your future self a huge favour. Exercise is a leg on a three legged stool. Feel me? As for books, almost every fucking thing we’ve all ever thought of, or felt, or gone through, or wanted, or wanted to know how to do, or whatever, has been figured out by someone else. Get some books.’

There is a specific and terrifying difference between “never were” monsters and “are not anymore” monsters

“The thing that was not a deer” implies a creature which mimics a deer but imperfectly and the details which are wrong are what makes it terrifying

“The thing that was not a deer anymore” on the other hand implies a thing that USED to be a deer before it was somehow mutated, possessed, parasitically controlled or reanimated improperly and what makes THAT terrifying is the details that are still right and recognizable poking out of all the wrong and horrible malformations.

Tuesday Tips - Cape It Simple!

I don’t need to add too much explanation today. A cape, cloak or long coat simplifies the silhouette of most character, gives them a unique look or presence and conceals a lot of the overall anatomy. Keep track of the character underneath to know where to fold, drop or stretch the fabric. The fabric itself should play a role too. Different behave differently. Movement and gravity are key to “ground” your character in the environment and make it look believable. -Norm @grizandnorm #capeitsimple #100tuesdaytipsbook #100tuesdaytips #arttutorial #arttips

hey ik youre all about bullet journals but ive been on the look out for really good books to read i was wondering if you have any suggestion?

Well, idk if you’ll find them really good because we all have different opinions, but Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foyer is a book that I really enjoy – I’m halfway through it but I already feel that it’s gonna become my new favorite book. Other books that I really liked are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (if you want to get your heart broken), Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (if you just want to run away from reality into a dreamy circus world), The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera (if you want to think – about life, about yourself, about the world,…), and Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (if you’re sick of stupid love stories and lack of diversity in YA literature + bonus - Alice has a tumblr so you can actually discuss the book with her). Special mention: Zero Waste Home by Bea Johnson (if you want to help the planet by reducing your waste and simplify your life – there are some really good tips for both).

I think you’re more after fiction, but I had to add that special mention because that book really changed my life :D. I also have tips for some nonfiction books, especially psychology and physics/space stuff so if you’re into that, hmu! ^^
