Ethan Suplee Instagram – My own wants and desires were largely based on my emotional state.
I felt what I felt and my emotional state was as close to truth as I could get.
But, was I always right when I wanted to harm myself? When I got angry? When I got sad?
Taking this all apart has been a lot of work for me. It’s left me amazed that I can rationally see a situation, know what I want, and still feel the truth of my emotions pulling me in a different direction.
The guy in the first slide kowtowed to his most base feelings at all times. Whatever he felt, was truth and acted upon.
Slowly, by tiny incremental steps the guy in the second slide emerged as someone who tried to find truth through objectivity and recognized that his feelings only existed within his imagination.
I did not feel like getting out of bed today, but I did.
I did not feel like going to the gym today, but I did.
I did not feel like eating a well balanced meal of my own preparing, but I did.
Today is all that matters. Win today.
