“Overthinking”

Posted on August 11, 2008 by D3 Support

Overthinking means unproductive thinking. I don’t like the term “overthinking” because it implies, incorrectly, that a certain amount of thinking is the right amount (what amount? never specified) and to go above or below it is irrational. This is no … Continue reading →

Reason Trumps Fear

Posted on August 8, 2008 by D3 Support

Ultimately reason, facts and logic are more powerful than fear. The fear only seems powerful, but it isn’t, and once you start to ‘get’ this, it becomes easier. Fear is an indicator that you are in danger—not necessarily physical danger, … Continue reading →

Wasting Time

Posted on August 6, 2008 by D3 Support

I realize that a rational person does not want to waste time. But wasting time implies knowingly squandering time. If you honestly believe you can accomplish something, and you seriously endeavor to do it, then you are not wasting time. … Continue reading →

What Discipline Really Is

Posted on August 1, 2008 by D3 Support

Discipline is the art of merging motivation with organization. You aren’t disciplined unless you’re dedicated to something. And you cannot be dedicated to something unless you WANT it. Before you strive to “learn discipline”, first figure out what you want.

Don’t Be a Hamlet

Posted on July 31, 2008 by D3 Support

I read a book some years ago called The Hamlet Syndrome. The book has some major flaws and I don’t necessarily recommend it, but one good point the book made had to do with the perils of thinking without action—i.e. … Continue reading →

How to Avoid a Passive Attitude

Posted on July 23, 2008 by D3 Support

If a car is left in the garage, it’s not running or working. It can harm the car to be used too little, just as it can harm the car to be used too much, or in the wrong way. … Continue reading →

The Perils of Not Being Yourself

Posted on July 22, 2008 by D3 Support

People can sense it when you’re not being yourself, and that you’re trying to merely get a reaction out of them, or gain their approval. This indicates low self-confidence and weakness on your part, and some will strike back when they sense … Continue reading →

The Conditions of Love

Posted on July 18, 2008 by D3 Support

I think what people really yearn for is not so much “unconditional love” — since we all love for reasons — as “uncomplicated love.” The purest form of love is NOT love without a self, love without reasons, or love … Continue reading →

Think Your Way to Reality

Posted on July 13, 2008 by D3 Support

How you think about something does not change reality. But it does change the way you interact with, and act in, reality. This will often lead to real-life consequences. For example, you hear about “the self-fulfilling prophecy.” This is not … Continue reading →

A Taste for Living

Posted on July 8, 2008 by D3 Support

Self-discipline, self-esteem, and mental health all require a basic love of life. You either love life, or you don’t. If you do, you will take life seriously–and you will exhibit characteristics of self-discipline and good mental habits. If you don’t … Continue reading →

Is The Brain All There Is?

Posted on July 7, 2008 by D3 Support

It used to be that parental influences were thought to be all determining in an individual’s personality. Freud, and his successors, focused on such factors as the mother-child relationship and alleged infantile sexuality as the determining factor in human nature. … Continue reading →

Managing Temporary Conflict

Posted on July 6, 2008 by D3 Support

If someone important to you—a spouse, for example—becomes defensive or hostile, then she’s probably starting to lose touch with the facts. You will do your relationship, the person with whom you’re in temporary conflict, and even yourself no service by … Continue reading →
