Longing: A lonely heart can be filled by someone, but a longing heart is a heart that cannot be filled by ‘the particular person.’ When the mind feels strange, it is important to first determine whether the feeling stems from a lack of self-generated needs or from not being filled by the object of longing. Loneliness can progress easily, but longing carries a high risk of self-destruction if not handled carefully. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
It’s a problem if you don’t make steady progress little by little every day; it’s not about whether your abilities are good or bad. Not everyone is the same, but often, quantity influences quality. The effort can be small and shouldn’t be overwhelming at once; regular and steady efforts are key. Therefore, you won’t be able to maintain that pattern under a heavy burden, but finding enjoyment is still possible. If few or no people can give me $100,000 a year, it’s more realistic to aim for $100,000 by having 1,000 people contribute 100 USD each year. Consistency is the only way to expand your inherent capabilities. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
