Two valuable ideas

Yeah so I stopped for a while.
Had to find firm footing before I continued.

Two very valuable ideas have entered my mind, each alone was not enough.
But together they really work wonders.

The first is a rather odd statment. It is called a double negative.

"There is no reason, to not be happy."

So what happened there? Well you kinda throw your brain for a little loop.
Positive affirmations don't work.

"Just be happy!"

Now somehow it just doesn't cut it, it becomes too simple for us.
Simple is boring, childish and all sort of other things so we just ignore it conciously.
If we say however say

"Do not be sad!"

Now we are talking, a negative, a bit more complex.
We have to interpret it. And our councious are with it.
But the unconcious don't understand negatives, so all it hears is

"Do be sad!"

But when we say a double negative someting magical happens.
It is doubly as interesting for the concious, a real riddle.
And when the unconcious are done editing out the negatives the message is clear.

"Be happy!"

The second thing that was valuable for me was something completely different.
Imagine that you have all these pissed off reasons to do stuff.
You are real angry and that is what drives you.
Suddenly the anger is dissipated. What do you do?
Well you lounge around all day, play games eat candy and smile.
So having an insta happy mechanism, if you could call it that,
you need something to counter balance it.

I found it in this site, the Done manifesto.
http://www.brepettis.com/blog/2009/3/3/the-cult-of-done-manifesto.html
A very result oriented mindset that just assumes that everything is sentered around doing stuff.
Works very well when you have deleted or at least severely weakened all motivation
based on anger.

So yeah that is where I'm at right now.
I have gotten up to speed on several other areas in my life and see no reason why this
blog won't see lots of activity because of this mindset.
Even if it is only the ghost of done. :p
