Sorting out desires and goals, short and long term, good or bad, etc...

[Adrellis]

I wish I had the big brain and development/experience to figure all this out, but I don't. So I'm going to ask it best I can, which might not be well. Words hard.

I have no idea how to figure out if certain things I want to do, will be good or bad. Not just the question of, "does it make you/me better?" but in general. No, I don't have ways of knowing if thoughts or desires as of the enemy. No, I don't want to abandon some of them, I want to go through them and see if they're good or "bad." But many of these things..have both sides. Some feel awkward but would only be good...from what I can see. Some are flat out bad, I'm going through them.

Yeah I cannot word this any better. I wish I could, but talking isn't my thing. But I'm overwhelmed and confused on past goals, things I thought early on in my development, but, going back and looking at them, not sure they're worth pursuing. In any lifetime or level of development. Some things are cool, others aren't, I just don't know. But puting them off until later doesn't feel right, I want to go through these.

No I don't make sense. No, these things are NOT "obvious" to me, I wish I knew how they are to some people. But those are some reasons I don't post here often, I don't talk well enough to get my ideas out to get good responses. But I'm going to try.

I spent pretty much my whole teenage years playing with words/ ideas. Perfecting them to describe and explain what others couldn't because the wording is really sensitive. It literally got me nowhere. It's best to go through with these goals and see what does or doesn't work. That way you're just not putting stuff off because of doubt or inexperience.

Do you think this is some sort of "analysis paralysis" where you are overthinking, or does it seem like the opposite problem? If it feels hard to think about stuff, then make sure to do more void meditation and consider some sort of working. Void alone will boost IQ and boost your focus, allowing you to diligently research things.

There is going to be good and bad to everything, and you have to rank and prioritize stuff accordingly. For example, taking on a new daily hobby may be ok, but only if you can still meditate, do yoga, do warfare. If it compromises that, then is it really worth pursuing? Maybe only on the weekends or something.

Being an SS, the most important thing to you is your advancement and warfare. By extension of this, an important part of that is daily time and time management, because these activities must be done daily. This requirement alone should be enough to deter certain activities or hobbies because you can only do so much during the day.

The 2nd major thing I would consider is the state of the world and how it may change over the next 5-10 years. Consider how Covid has affected the economy for example and how it may have nullified certain endeavors. We as SS know that Covid is not the end of the turmoil and that more is on the way before it gets better. This idea should also influence what you decide to pursue: Make sure you can stay safe and make sure your work efforts are not going to be wiped out.

Besides that, you just have to do your research, call people and ask questions, and try out the activity a little bit, if this applies to what you are referring to. You could also employ workings to boost intuition or mental ability if you think this is what would help you. In general, the more you learn and advance, then of course your view of the world will shift.

analysis paralysis is something I encounter while trying to program, but I've had commitment "issues" most of my life. Mostly because other people set my schedule and all that, I've not learned to pick my own commitments and goals and such. There are also things I want to do and have but haven't decided if they're worth pursuing, and yeah it's confusing because I can only see the goal at the surface level, not everything involved.

I've never been that smart :/ that's just me. but yes I do need to reorganize things more, but seeing beyond just the fun factor of things is difficult. thanks

I can't even finish my first statement, lol, analysis paralysis is like writer's block to me, but that's not quite what I'm experiencing here. maybe a little bit, but that's not the bulk of it. yes I do need to do more void meditation and other stuff, and yes this life is probably going to be less about doing fun stuff and just..fighting. I don't know. that's the honest truth. it could be, it might not be, it probably is, but is it? probably.

In such cases you should ask a couple of people who you know have gone through the same thing and have achieved it or given up and learn from their diverse experiences.

Or you can ask a generally accomplished person who you trust and could give wise advice. That is to say ,you can also ask here and people can give their opinions.
