Live Logically
Before we take any action, we should pass the decision behind the action through the sieve of appropriateness. There should a meaningful basis, a measuring thought that decides whether or not an action is in alignment with how it should be. Even if it requires us to experiment to decide the correct way to go, we should take up the experimentation. This is what distinguishes a mature man from an immature one – the presence of a constant guiding light.
What makes our day difficult?
Our day is full of many small choices, choices which hardly take our time. I have realized that it is these small choices that decide the quality of my day.
For example, I have a tendency to pack some of my days with appointments. I am an introvert. If there is a typical advice for any introvert it is not to overwhelm himself. This choice of scheduling things so as not to overwhelm self is exercised in the matter of a second. It is exercised when I choose not to yield to an appointment or two even in the face of many demands on my time. This small choice that I make on a daily basis retains or destroys my otherwise high quality day.
