How I’m Learning to Think Clearly

Well, they downplay him. Oh, it's not that big of a deal. No, he's just texting another person. Oh, no, she's just a friend. Whatever it might be, all of these red flags that could exist, right? Not saying that, you know, people can't have friends. But I'm just saying there might be a lot of red flags that are happening.

And what they do is because they don't want to be alone, they try to convince themselves that love should be hard. Oh, this should be really hard. It should be stressful. Versus actually like really seeing it as it is because desire distorts reality. So one of the most powerful mental shifts that you can make is to detach yourself from the outcome.

Detach from what you want just long enough to try to see things as they are. Ask yourself stuff like, if I had no personal stake, what would I advise one of my friends to do? If my friend came to me and said, this is what my boyfriend's doing, what kind of advice would I give them? Not my own. Not my own boyfriend. Not my own girlfriend. Whatever it is that you might have.

What advice would I give them? Instead of asking something like, you know, how can I make this work? Maybe you should ask yourself, should I be even working on this in the first place? Instead of asking, what do I want to be true? Ask what is true regardless of how I feel about it. See, the clearer that you can see reality, the better that your decisions will be. And this is a big, big point.

The better decisions that you make will come from seeing things more clearly. You make better decisions the more clearly that you see things. And it's like an example of, let's say that I give you a bow and arrow and I say, okay, I want you to go ahead and hit that target. And then I give you a pair of dirty glasses.

How I’m Learning to Think Clearly

I take a pair of glasses and I rub them in the ground and I get a bunch of dirt on them. I say, okay, go ahead and try to hit that target. Well, through distorted glasses, it's going to be really hard to hit that target because I don't see it as well. I don't see it clearly. But if you just take the glasses off, it's going to be much easier for you to hit that target. Why?

Because you're not distorting it with those glasses. You're able to see it more clearly. It's the same thing here. The more clearly that you can see, the better that you will shoot. The more clear that you can see, the better decisions that you will make in your life. So next time you make a decision, write down what you want to happen.
