All action is good action

i am learning.

when i used to make a mistake, i would really myself up about it. really punish myself in my head. stupid stupid stupid how could i be so stupid.

happened yesterday. i was flirting with a girl via whatsapp, and i screwed up. instead of flirting “conditionally”, as in push pulling, i just complimented her.

i was too eager, too direct — like rollo warns about not doing in this excellent post.

anyway, point is, i was in my own heading beating myself up about this.

no.

beating myself up comes from a SCARCITY mentality. like she is the last girl in the world.

with an ABUNDANCE mentality, it is a learning experience that i learn from and move on. and it was GOOD that i screwed up, because i LEARNED. all action is better than inaction.

ALL ACTION IS BETTER THAN INACTION.

so i should be happy and proud of myself for acting, i should reward myself for acting, for doing. doing is much better than just watching, than just being passive, than just being timid.

good job, R. good job.

that’s better.
