“One of the problems with editing your life and cutting things out, is that it is so easy to rationalize and justify all your current actions.”

@Annette, you and Jonathan are my heroes! Thanks for commenting.

@Patricia, excellent! Good luck and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@alex, it does make sense. But unlike you 20 year-olds, some of us older folk have had time to accumulate a lot more default activities around jobs, family, friends, obligations, and commitments that isn’t just being edited in. It’s already there by momentum and has to be surgically removed! Thanks for stopping by to share your always stimulating thoughts!

@George, I’m with you on that. Done some, have a lot more to go. Thanks for commenting.

I know there are still a few things that could be scratched off, and they will eventually be. I’m just taking my time and doing it step by step.

awwwwsome idea for a post.

in my list of “posts to write” is the title “stop trying to edit the past”

man… i’d def switch up the wording a lil.

very subtle… but i think the idea of actively editing out not living in the past is just gonna cause more mind litter. it’s just more trying to control your experience which will make you live in your head, not in the now.

rather let go of wanting to edit your experience by living in the past.

instead of editing the editing, if that makes any sense

like, instead of “simply start editing out” rather, “simply stop editing in”. we’re editing IN the rubbish and distractions and mind stuff, so editing it in and then editing it out duddn’t make sense. just stop wanting to put it there in the first place

“prison of habit” – like the way you put that

…and the “imagine” thought experiment. usually read those kinds of things but don’t actually do the thinking. did it this time. and it made me feel really great.

stripping back. ya know. completely letting go.

good friend of mine – glen in fact – asked me what the one thing i’d want to do before i die is – tough question… my answer, “completely let go”

haha.

really awwwsome post stephen, got me super excited and thinking.

stumbled and tweeted.

keep well mate

Like Jonathan Wells above, I have been willing to set out into life and begin again. Twice I was determined to give it all up, to leave my possessions and security behind to discover who I was. The first time was when I was 18 years old. I headed out from my birthplace of upstate NY and moved to Arlingon, Texas. With absolutely no real life-skills, only a tiny amount of money, a boxful of clothes, no car, and a high-school education I headed out into the world. I’m not saying it wasn’t difficult, but I learned that no matter what I would always survive. I never lived under a bridge, never went hungry, and discovered I could trust myself. It is through experience that we move beyond our fears and limitations.

Thanks for an inspiring article about moving beyond our habits and discovering our true selves. Well-done!

But you know, so many of us personal development bloggers write about these kind of things, and so many people read it and agree, but I’d guess the majority of the people never do anything about their current situations.

Somehow it would be cool to set up some sort of bootcamp, where likeminded people who want to change their current situations all pool their resources (intelligence, skills, ideas) and work together to achieve the lifestyles they all want.

Thats what I’m working on:)

Have a great weekend Stephen!
