What You Tolerate Will Continue.

///Thread\\\ Image
Usually, when someone says to you, "What are you tolerating in life."

You may think about the external: people and things.

But what if it had more to do with you and the 3 areas you have the most control over in life?

1) Your Body

2) Your Mind

2) Your Environments
"Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness."
- Henri Frederic Amiel

You need to recognize the parts of life you are not clever with; what are you tolerating?

1) Your Body:

Do you drink too much alcohol? Not workout enough? Eat too much junk food?
2) Your Mind:

Do you use too much negative self talk? Get angry too often? Watch negative TV too much?

3) Your Environments:

Do you tidy your house enough? Choose to stay in a toxic job? Have a hectic workspace?
When you look at those three areas, your body, mind, and environments

And ask yourself these questions, you will say to yourself:

"Yeah, there's a lot of things in my life that I am tolerating."
You tolerate:

Not working-out enough

Negative chatter in your mind

Letting yourself get angry or upset quickly.

Not keeping your work areas clean enough.

Even if you have already grown a lot, there will be areas you have begun to tolerate lower standards for yourself.
That’s why you need to ask yourself regularly:

"What am I tolerating right now?"

If you were to sit down and think through this exercise

Thinking about your body, mind, and environments, you can constantly catch and improve any areas you have allowed to slip.
We are all on a journey that journey never stops

But we might get complacent or even grow past what we once thought was okay

It is key to take a step and review what type of life we are willing to tolerate.
"Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs."
- Peter Drucker

You are the CEO of your life. Don't let yourself do a bad job in these 3 key areas.

Stop tolerating below standard work.

7 Reasons Why You Should Study Philosophy Your Whole Life

///THREAD\\\
To frame this thread, I wanted to start with these quotes:

"The object of studying philosophy is to know one's own mind, not other peoples."
- William Ralph Inge

"To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one's self to die."

1. Better thinking

The basics of philosophy teach us Logic, with this:

- You will be able to recognize an argument
- You'll know what fallacies are and be able to spot them
- You'll see what a fact or an assumption is

Philosophy gives you many systems to think with.

We need to talk about the Success Trap

And why you don't want to fall into it!

///THREAD\\\
Behind every victory is the desire for the next one

Every success makes you want more

In reality, there is no peak to success

The climb towards the next one can become addictive.
The success trap has caught many infamous leaders in history

From Caser, Napoleon, to some German dude with a small mustache

All undone by their desire for more, the next success

Only to be unsatisfied at its summit.

You need to start:

Consuming with purpose; it is the hidden path to your success.

///THREAD\\\
If you're like me, you're probably on a success journey

Looking for your hidden path to success

Which means you spend a lot of time:
- Reading books
- Listening to podcasts
- Attending many seminars

Trying to consume and absorb as much information as you can...
However, this can quickly turn into just learning for the sake of learning

You end up reading books, listening to podcasts, attend webinars and workshops

Even though you know the content is not relevant to your current situation...
