Lotus's List of Virtues
actually my list basically echoes the cardinal virtues so I'll post those. Not sure where Humility fits, probably under Prudence.
- Prudence
- Temperance
- Justice
- Fortitude
- Wisdom - Like literally everything. Being smart, prepared, knowing what to do, learning from mistakes.
- Humility - Knowing yourself and putting others above yourself
- Confidence - Working through fear and knowing your boundaries, where you may put yourself on equal standing with others.
- Curiosity - Curiosity is the best teacher. A well-fed curiosity never rests.
- Communication - Communication is the ability to express ideas to other humans. Most people actually suck at this. If you can express what you want to others in a concise and articulate way, you're able to discern whether or not they can help you. I.E. People can't express their feelings or frustration, and it ruins relationships.
- Honesty - Part of communication and humility. If you're not being honest, you're being dishonest. Save very specific situations, lies exist to hide an ugly, shameful truth. If it's shameful, it means you know it is bad.
Accomplishing Stuff
There are four steps to getting what you want. It's a lot like changing lanes.
- Intent - What do you want? What is stopping you?
- Signal - Let the world know what you want. Find a route.
- Execute - Now execute the plan.
- Reflect - What do you want next? Or if you're still working on the execution, what can you do now?
Mental Practices
Zoom In - Practice being completely aware of all your senses and being in the now. Zoom Out - Think of yourself from an outside, objective perspective.
Try taking a deep breath when stressed. Also try journaling in the morning or evening, see where it takes you.
If you have a problem, define it. Once you have defined the problem you can brainstorm and research potential solutions.
Have suggestions? Let me know. Also I don't want to fix your problems for you, this is just a reference.
