will yourself where you want to be

I have had the pleasure of knowing and meeting many wonderful people so far.  I must agree, to paraphrase a journal from Flying Lotus, “the universe really does give you what you put out”. Along those lines: many of these wonderful people I know make me sad because they don’t seem to acknowledge or believe this.

One philosophy I’ve been hearing a lot with respect to programming is that you should think about it more than actually doing it. I think this can be applied to life as well. It’s easy to get hung up in merely doing whatever you’re doing, wherever you are. You should try and take a step back. Where are you going? Where do you want to be you going? What are you trying to do? What are you doing?  What do you want to be doing?

Without some sort of direction, some goal, you’re just looking at your feet. This isn’t to say you’re doing it wrong. I would argue that, simply, you’re not going to achieve your full potential utility and happiness.

Once you realize you’re in control, it’s incredibly liberating to think of the possibilities. This isn’t to say every day of your life is going to be super awesome. Be realistic. And, be aware that every day, every action is a choice. It’s a big world out there. So, will yourself where you want to be.

You attract what you habitually expect. You become what you deeply believe.
