I’m sure you are on a quest for continuous improvement. Progress, not perfection. Iterate constantly, fail fast, fall forward, and seek to be a better version of yourself.
But how do you know if you have really improved? What yardsticks do you use? Or is success criteria irrelevant because trying hard is the only thing that matters?
I just measure revenue for ~HealthAndFitness #1002150
I’ve lost so much weight since founding the territory I’ve rewarded everyone with a 200 day posting cost!
And one day, you will overtake @Aardvark
Never.
You need some sats for your CONVICTION
It's not conviction in myself, it's conviction in @realBitcoinDog's incompetence.
Be nice. No wonder you struggle to make friends 😡
I'm always nice, it's just that @realBitcoinDog is a stinky loser that deserves to be ostracized.
But do you have milk?
If I have more Sats than the yesterday, I'm improving. If I have less Sats, I'm probly doing some dumb shit with my life.
It's surprising how well this metric works as a bellwether for everything else in my life.
Here’s some more sats for you haha
So I guess you don’t believe in spending and replacing your sats?
Of course I do!
But if I'm doing some dumb shit, there's never enough funds to do the replacing after doing the spending.
I can do more than I could before? (more pushups, more & heavier pull-ups, walk further, master new skills and yoga balancing postures)
In personal, ephemeral matters, I suppose it gets harder; no obvious measuring rod.
Interesting perspective!
But surely some of our physical faculties decline with age? Like, my personal best 2.4km timing was 9 mins 18 secs. 30 years later, I would be lucky if I could hit 12-13 mins these days. How to reconcile and recalibrate my expectations?
@denlillaapan covered it pretty nicely IMO. I guess I would add that if you keep finding/identifying mistakes in your demeanor/being, be it in the present or in the past, you're probably improving, or at least have the required understanding (that which stands under; supports; provides the base) for how to improve.
I like how you used difficulty adjustment.
Also, If our base were a three-legged stool, what 3 things will it be composed of?
I'd say the physical body, the mental body and the spiritual body. They hold & sustain the Self.
Great answer!
I can’t help feeling inspired! Haha
The first part of this, for a different reason:
For Continuous Improvement to be a
continuousprocess, it must be continuously fed an input to be improved. Input Selection is therefore part of the cycle and to make it more confusing, the input can be the Continuous Improvement process itself. It doesn't really matter what progress was made, but more when to decide that the process isn't working as efficient as it should.I like the way you brought your ideas across in a way that reminds me of programming language. I find that train of thought quite sexy because I just don’t think like that
My mind's a flowchart haha
the grass grows by itself
Woah but how to reach that stage?
That is the stage you are already in naturally/continually.
I usually notice I’ve improved when I react differently to situations that used to trigger me, or when something that felt hard before now feels easy. It’s less about big milestones and more about subtle shifts over time.
Your words resonate with me.
I find that after being a parent, I’m far more unflappable. Certain things that would drive me nuts in the past barely lift my eyebrows these days
I also experienced something like this when I became a father. It's incredible how parenthood changes one's life, especially in terms of priorities.
