⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Excerpt Testimonies of life regrets, from dying patients, nurses & psychologist across hospital rooms @sapienkind⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀   𝟒. “I Left Too Much Unsaid” Over & over again, people long to go back-not to redo a moment, but to honestly speak their minds. Pretending to be “peaceful”, when something clearly needs to be said, does not mean problems will vanish—you just always avoided the responsibility to truly articulate your thoughts. Unexpressed resentment never die, they just get buried alive, only to return later in much darker & vitriolic emotions. Speak forth your observations, as honest & precise as necessary, let go of any expectation of outcomes, & watch your whole existence transform   𝟑. Letting Connections Fade & Not Being Present. Success or status does not enhance joy. It’s connection. Social bonds don’t just add happiness—they extend life. The missed calls, canceled plans, petty conflicts, reputational optics, all turn into nostalgic-guilt when the noise fades & old memories relapse. By then, it’s impossible to track down old friends/families that faded over the years.   𝟐. “What If ?” Regrets of inaction cut deeper than things we attempt & fail. Because inaction has no closure—just an endless fixation on what might’ve been. The hypotheticals that were never acted on—Not pursuing passions, not traveling, not relocating, not taking risk of falling in love—You don’t have it all figured out. You’re “not ready”. BUT you’ll never “feel ready”. Strategize a draft plan, have faith in God, and GO anyway.   𝟏. “I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself”  The deepest of all regrets—is not expressing who you are. At death’s doorsteps, people fixate on times of self-betrayal, for the sake of approval. Staying mediocre when something inside you longed to expand, too worried about bystanders’ gossips, following safe norms at the cost of meaningful purpose. Blindly conforming to the crowd for temporary acceptance. Deep inside however, a fake smile to appease others yields a thousand regrets.   [𝟒] Koenig Kellas et al., 2022 [𝟑] Waldinger & Schulz, 2010; Ware, 2011 [𝟐] Roese & Summerville, 2005 [𝟏] Davidai & Gilovich, 2018; Ware, 2011 by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Loss: We humans are programmed to abhor loss more than we treasure victory.   Most of your good days are negligible in the recess of your memory, but you don’t ever forget your worst ones— 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘭, 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 to add some chaos to existence. Chaos (i.e. entropy, 2ⁿᵈ Law of Thermodynamic) imply that you don’t know who you are, your perception is uncalibrated with reality, and you’ve been too damn comfortably asleep.   Our fear-memory system is biased towards highlighting negative emotions (as a protective mechanism, traced back to our tribal hunting-gathering epoch) one negative stimuli is perceived to be more psychologically severe than an equivalent positive gain—safer to bear the annoying anxiousness to not get hurt from the threat (perceived or real), than to be carelessly “happy” only to encounter unexpected critical harm (Kahneman & Tversky). You must recognize this psychological bias and convert it into action, whenever entropy is detected via aroused emotions of your nervous systems. Losses imply that you got problem(s) to resolve—which can paralyze you, OR drive you to grieve, reflect, recalibrate, and re-engage with alternative solutions, the very basis of deep psychological transformation (written in the voice of @danaherjohn and @jockowillink)   Dante’s Inferno (journey through Hell) is much more intriguing than Dante’s Paradiso. Because those who have truly lived and survived the storms, acknowledge all things that terrify them is much more urgent to address than remaining in an infantilized state of delusional bliss (regardless of one’s lackadaisical attitude or false-positive persona they display in public to save face). There is no circumventing the predestined losses, and bypassing the valleys where the most valuable spiritual lessons are found that would fortify your character. Thus, “We must endure hardship to enter the kingdom of Heaven [Acts 14:22].   Fire burns you, but it’s the same fire that fuels you. As there is no Testimony—𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 the Test. #MementoMori #goldenhour by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aphorisms. Enjoy reading, or be triggered—   The way out of hell, is 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩   Don’t weaponize the use of guilt Nothing is yours, it’s just your turn Ask questions when others are afraid to ask Don’t shake a man’s hand while sitting down   Don’t anchor your identity on another person He who passes the sentence—swing the sword   Give 2ⁿᵈ chances, mercy (&justice) breed harmony Unresolved issues don’t vanish, they multiply below   Keep ur damn eyes OPENED, especially in the storm If old memories haunt you, write it down & confront it   They who lie in trivial matters, 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 lie in critical matters Don’t tear up old wounds, to aggrandize yourself as the healer If you have to kill, be brief & precise to end the suffering Don’t bind to old chains, just because it’s familiar & “secured”   Never mistake niceness for goodness. Nor kindness for weakness   Anything added to the truth, 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 from the Truth -A.Solzhenitsyn Make money, to share skills & opportunities. Not to gain “treasures” Be grateful. Look upon the hill, there’s a Cross, on the Cross, there’s blood Don’t cut corners. How you do minor tasks, dictates how you do major tasks   Earn trust by initiating trust. Someone’s gotta be brave/vulnerable to start the cycle You’re not entitled to inflict misery to others, even if you were severely mistreated   Disorganization of your physical space represents the mess within your mental state   You can change plan, only IF the new plan is more difficult than the current pursuit Never trade liberty for safety, those who do so deserve neither safety or liberty -B.Franklin   Don’t expect favor after helping someone & do not overhelp, codependency is mental slavery Marry a woman, you marry her problems, including all her psychological &social problems, ‘til death   Don’t try to rescue someone who resists being saved. Let them perish, for someone else more worthy   Attempt & fail, so you fail daring greatly, don’t sit amongst the weaklings who neither know victory nor defeat -T.Roosevelt   Make one thing better every place you visit. Opportunities lurk where responsibilities have been abdicated -J.Peterson by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 𝐕𝐢𝐚 𝐞𝐭 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚   Instinct, Intuition, gut-feeling, inner voice, orientation reflex, often led you wrong. But then you recall they’re the only things that ever led you right   While you’re navigating your path, do not lie. At all. Ever. Lies warp your direction and misinterpret your understanding of the World—our eyes filter out what we prioritize, so our internal dialogue (~60 frames per sec), constructs the framework of our belief system. Tell lies long enough, and you’ll rewire your neurons to believe that narrative. You pathologize the voice that guide the psychological map for every single lie that you fabricate (lies of commission), & every truth that you neglect to speak forth when necessary (lies of omission). Then your instinct—now unreliable—continues to reinforce your mind to the corrupted thought-pattern that you previously initiated   Our intelligence hates the truth because honesty triggers self-consciousness, which reveals personal flaws & failures (the hippocampus/amygdala were evolved to signify negative memories over positives, 5:1 ratio, as a protective mechanism to resolve past threats/obstacles that may re-emerge). Hence, the Truth is a 𝘚𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵; light purifies, but burns off dead flesh & cut open lies, to remind you that you’re fragile, ignorant & potentially evil (see Matthew 10:34-36; Hebrew 4:12). So people hide from the truth to avoid being burnt—it demands destroying years of their false identity to be reborn anew. Even as broken as you are, there’s still Divinity within you— 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥. Speaking reality into existence is not merely psychological choices, they’re opposite modes of living that either manifest Heaven or Hell unto life   Embody the Truth, not because it offers “safety”, or a delusional utopia, or happiness—in fact, you’ll lose people, encounter conflicts & tragedy. But the Truth is an anchor to the light, and when you’re lost in the wilderness, the desert & the storm, a lighthouse is your only 𝘙𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 through the treacherous terrain—Strait is the gate and narrow is the Way to Life, & few there be that find it. by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Methodology embedded in the madness.   The best (and also terrifying) thing about spending enough time by the ocean, is the realization that you’re not entitled to be saved by anyone—a good summary of life, and that’s how it should be.   You cannot fixate (or, worship) your identity solely based on what/who/where you understand, or the established traditions, and repetitive norms that created your identify (despite the fact that culture/tradition is necessary for initial development, you then must be unbounded, and transformed by encountering novel information, new places & interactions). If you completely adhere to who you are/were, you’re simultaneously imprisoning your future self to your current (internal) tyrant, your ego and unconscious complexes. So all that means is that you haven’t been exposed to (or too cowardly to confront) unknown elements that could catalyze and metamorphize you into the most resilient & adaptive version of who you could be. What you know from yesterday, might be insufficient today, and probably counter-productive tomorrow.   We, humans, need to play—and we need to play 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺, but carefully, amongst the rough terrain and the questionable elements, while keeping our eyes wide-opened. That 𝘪𝘴 where maximum learning occurs. We want to be right on the edge between Order & Chaos—one moment you’re in control, and the next moment might be catastrophic—surfing right on the pocket of a wave, right on the edge of chaos, but thrilled to be fully alive in the zone of order. Precisely the zone of maximal psychophysiological development, coined by psychologist Lev Vygotsky   Thus if you’re repeatedly winning at one thing in life, it highly likely means that you’re not doing anything new or more difficult. You might be “winning”,  but you’re not growing, and fundamentally, growing is the purest form of winning.   #Oceanislife #BlueEuphoria #OrderandChaos by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ If you need to have a difficult conversation with someone (and you will), ask them to meet at sunset, preferably over the ocean where both parties can face seaward, instead of oppositional facing, thus the panoramic view of the horizon can help activate the parasympathetic nervous systems of both parties (i.e. calming mechanism of your physiology/emotion, triggered by the widened visual field of scattering photons). The outcome varies depending on what you’re looking for (literally & metaphorically) of course—either an articulated, yet difficult, but necessary form of peace, or a prolonged under-raging silenced war. *Major reference to the 2000 year-old under-raging war in the middle-east, more like 3500 years dating back to the rivalries between Ishmael (Arab) & Isacc (Jewish) in the book of Genesis. Always in false pretension of unresolved “peace”, but occasionally explodes in barbaric bloodshed ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Verbal resolution of conflicts is usually preferable, however, physical aggression and capabilities 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 always be available, under full voluntarily control, as so to deploy judiciously and tactically—shall you ever encounter a non-cooperative, psychopathic, ill-intended character, males & females alike ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ In spite of the knowledge of all the potential external adversaries that might oppose you, the sunset reflects to you that the entity that you shall always go to war against is yourself, the first enemy and the last, the wicked, deceitful, and darker serpentine half of your Being that needs to be continuously recalibrated, repented, reevaluated, and then transformed into a healthy essence of the overall cosmos, every time the day is marked with the scattering light photons traveling through the golden horizon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #goldenhour #maukatomakai by @45thparalleln

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make friends with adversity and you’ll never be alone.   Uphill. Obstacles. Unknown distance, variable elements. Alone if deem necessary. To walk uphill with your Cross, psychologically—means you must let go, 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦, time and time again in the face of successive obstacles. It requires you to abandon those things that—and often those people who—are impeding your development (despite fact that you may have held them closely to your heart, what you idolize most, is precisely what’s always holding you back). Thus, getting up from every single time you fall ceases to be an internal debate on the basis of intellectual rationality, but rather, an 𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 habituated bodily response after every single failure. After all, there is ten-fold more wisdom in the body than your deepest philosophy [Nietzsche]. The act of voluntarily confrontation against adverse conditions, up gradient, towards resistance, is the manifestation of the redemptive spirit that continually resurrects who you are (whom is already dying every single day, by default) into the conscious, alive, and transfigured version of you that has yet to become. #fullthrottle #mountaintosea #complacencykills by @45thparalleln
