If you want to know something about yourself sit on your bed one night and say to yourself you've got to mean this like you've got to be desperate This is no game this My life is not everything I want to be and perhaps it's not everything that I need it to be And by need I mean my life is so unbearable that the suffering that's attended upon that has made me nihilistic cynical bitter resentful driving the proclivity to see evil everywhere except within my own heart Like these are problems man And you ask yourself you sit on the bed and say okay man I'm ready to learn something what's one thing I'm doing wrong that I know I'm doing wrong that I could fix that I would fix it's like you meditate on that you'll get an answer and it won't be one you want but it'll be the necessary one you know and it's often Something that will point you to small things like that works You start making those micro-improvements like real micro-improvements real on-the-ground actual micro-improvements to things you know that are wrong you'll improve unbelievably rapidly The great people I know are brutally truthful to themselves and other people and they have insanely adventurous lives Get rid of everything you say that you only say to impress other people And just see if you can say what you believe to be true That's an adventure That's the thing about the truth you know Well you've to ask yourself if you're not speaking the truth who is it that's talking If you're saying something that you do not believe to be true it's not you talking It's something else It might be the part of you that wants to manipulate the other person into delivering what you think you want from them Well what is that spirit of manipulation that you've allowed to possess you It's not you Let's say you decide to live your whole life in that instrumental manner You're going to craft your words like the student who says well I'm going to write what the professor wants to hear so I get the grade like well you just turn yourself into that Well who is it that's doing that manipulating It's not you because those aren't your words So even if you get the grade it's not you that got the grade It's the false you It's the manipulative you So you do that your whole life You don't have your life And then you think well God that was a miserable life I manipulated everybody They were so damn stupid They were sucked in by it They're all contemptible Everyone does it you know which they don't by the way And so that's a pathway to bitterness Partly because if you're a manipulator and you use your language falsely you don't live your own life You live the life of whatever possesses you when you think it's you manipulating
