they say that you live your life inside your head.
your feelings, thoughts, ideas, expectations, desires are all in your head.
no two people react to the same circumstances the same way.
let’s assume this is true.
i believe that it is.
life is lived inside your head.
your happiness, your choices, your loves and hates,
your preferences and your obligations.
so what does it mean?
if you want to change your life, change your head.
change what you think.
change what you know.
change what you feel.
practically, how can this be done?
broaden the pallette of your experience.
read for new ideas, and new templates of human feeling.
write, to clarify your thinking and to test ideas.
watch movies, to visit places you will never go.
observe the mass of humanity around you with humility and understanding.
observe yourself.
(love as many people as you can.
it is difficult to love.
it is work.
we cannot love everyone, but we learn from those we try to love and fail to love.
we learn from those we love and who do not return that love.
we accept those that we love and do not ask for anything in return.)
make the head you live in bigger and wiser.
expand your feelings,
imagine new thoughts,
play with other ideas,
invert your expectations,
change your desires.
that is how you break the prison of your mind.
rebuild the walls.
reform the structure.
if life inside your own head is painful or boring or severe or frustrating,
make it a better place to live.
