Does anyone remember the new year's resolutions they "once had"? I bet most of us have already failed on these, and we were somehow doomed to fail. And there's a reason for that.
Why do you have to wait until January the 1st to change your diet or anything?
Why do we need to wait for Mondays to stop smoking, drinking, or eating junk foods when we can actually ditch these the moment we realized we want to get rid of such habits? You can literally throw the hamburger away as such "awakening occurs".
Delaying gratification is achieving more while getting more into instant gratification will oftentimes lead to more and more of that which means that there will never be "a perfect Monday" or "January 1st" that will act as a catalyst in changing our lives.
You either change yours now or never. Now, this might look horrible to the reader but I'm somehow mixing two posts in this one, simply because I have so many drafts and so much stuff to write about and I don't want to flush any of them down the toilet.
So...
I see some of my fellow Hivers treating Hive as a job, and although for many of us, Hive has somehow replaced a conventional job, it actually isn't like that. When you got a regular job you go to your working place and fulfill your tasks because you have to not necessarily because you like it.
Very few are the case of employees who really love what they're doing.
I see on Hive that some users are somehow posting in pretty much the same manner as if "they have to", or because others are doing it. I'm seeing that, especially with #threads. I got to say that the volume of microblogs on Hive has increased drastically due to #threads, but with that, we also have an increase in junk posts on Hive.
I don't want to name anyone and always be the black sheep seeing the negative from the whole, but man... who cares about camels and dromedary... I mentioned these because yesterday while spending some time on threads I saw some user posting about these(camels and dromedary).
The posts looked like some sort of educational cards with general info about these animal species and photos for each one of these bastards so we know what the "school lessons" were about. It's Hive, it's decentralized and freedom of speech oriented so who am I to judge anyone...
But who the fuck cares about camels and dromedary? I guess pretty much the same ones who care about my meals :).
However, let's get back to posting and the habit of doing it for the sake of posting or just because others are doing it, or... because others are posting on this particular topic. Why not post when you feel like it instead of doing it "on command". And if there are days you feel like posting too much you can simply draft some of the posts or schedule them for the next day.
I do that quite often.
Living in the moment and acting in the moment doesn't have to be some spiritual shit that's so much shilled lately by all sorts of spiritual gurus on the internet. It's as simple as taking a conscious action of making the change now, posting now, and writing down your notes now. That simple. It requires no Monday or new years resolutions.
Eat the cookie and don't it another one. But don't delay ditching habits and starting new more productive ones. Do it for the sake of it and do it now. Too much framing and pattern fitting killed the cat... and the owl. Have a great Saturday and see you next time.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
