Thanks :) Personal operating system? You mean a PC? Like I execute things systematically according to my values?
I guess the base for everything is meal-planning and the avoidance of gaming, that is the basic platform where everything starts. The fundament that must be put in before any other bricks may be laid... No skyscraper is built without a well built fundament, otherwise it may topple like a house of cards...
I am no Architect. But these sayings just seem to make a boatload of sense to me (no research was done on this subject at he moment of writing these lines ;) )
That is a hard question, because I really don't know what will happen and how. What first comes to my mind is the inauguration speech of Steve Jobs... To the gist of(Not 100% precise) "We've got to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future". I guess the only one that can give you an answer is the "me" of the current moment and not the "me" of 10 years away from now.
But as it seems to me as of now, I guess what is very important if not the most important, is not to allow our habits to mindlessly take over us. And fight the tendency to just keep going with them. If there is something we do that we feel is wrong, keep reminding it to ourselves again and again, and not accept it as a given. Until we have enough awareness of the subject to push us to action, and then keep going.
There are many people who do not take responsibility for what happens or try to actively manage their life.
But 90% of your situation in life is your responsibility, and you caused it, whether you're aware of how you did it or not... (So I believe, nothing I say is the holy grail of course)
I guess the good ew are that since you caused it, you can also change it usually, even though you won't erase the past, you may reverse some effects in the future. For example if you were eating unhealthy for 10 years and caused yourself a cancer, and didn't stop early enough... It has already happened... As of now there's not enough technology to change the past.... But you may change your mealplan now, not say "it's just the way it is" I got cancer because so is the world. I think it is very rare, if at all happens, that our way of life is not -in part- contributing to the development of disease, if not -in majority-.
So if you act now and change the meal plan where you think you should, there is no guarantee you'll hit the spot and get the cancer effects changed, but if you do, there is a chance that it will happen. You can indeed get it to heal, and get your body to prosper again. Again, so I believe...
In any case there is more chance to make that happen than if you just keep on taking some superficial pain medications like 90% of people do (Again a number out of the blue, but I mean the majority[so it seems]).
The medications may eliminate surface symptoms, but not your habits which will keep causing the symptoms, and probably a worsening of the symptoms. Because you're not aiming at the root, but at some small branch...
Accept that most of the things in life you experience today are a result of how you acted in the past. And get to work trying to understand what it is and execute execute execute. As much as it depends on you....
We don't know how much really depends on us and if we're really able to achieve something or not.
What we do know is that we should keep trying to the best of our ability. Because that sure as hell leaves you way more chances to get your long term life goals, in comparison to not doing anything.
So is our human condition. Work work work until our last breath. But, huge power comes with it. The potential to create machines such as airplanes, computers, spacecraft.... The potential of becoming an interplanetary species... etc. etc. etc.
Rant over ;)
P.S. This message might not be well structured.... I just threw my thoughts on the page for 20 minutes. Hope for your understanding , and that it's somewhat readable. IF there's anything that is not clear or you'd like to ask about. (Which probably is the case because transfering a thought/idea/vision is difficult in general and in written form in particular). Feel free to do so.
Thanks again for your message and complements. I just keep trying. I know I could have done better. Probably almost every day, if not every day. Please do not in any way idolize me. I do however generally try to keep shaking the dust off of my dreams and not lie to myself about things I do which might seriously be hindering my goals. I could have acted on them way faster. But I guess most people don't even keep these facts in their sight, which is why I appear different to you. But it is not about being "better" or more improvement inclined than other people. It's about achieving your own potential.
And I just hope God(Whatever I can't control, call it as you wish) gives me the power to do what it takes, despite the pain to get to that potential.
On this note: Thank you god for being alive, for having my body. Hands, legs, eyes, ears. And for the opportunity to wake up one more day, despite all the possible damage I do to my body, or to my purpose on this earth.
I know I am fallible, but I forgive myself. I am human. I do the best I know how, every day. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing it...
Things are the way they had to be, but they don't have to keep being the same. We are, as humans the creators of our own lives and have the opportunity to create new habits and new hormonal balances.
We've just got to keep the vision, our potential as we see it in front of our eyes. And devote ourselves to achieving it... That's all there is to life as I see it...
Rant 2 over, after 15 minutes more.
Best wishes.
