If I want to keep my mind free of clutter, these are the things I must avoid:
- No anger
- No lust
- No jealousy
- No click bait
- No television
- No pornography
- No social media
- No daily news cycle
Will I fail with this entire list on a long enough timeline? Of course I will, but I know that the less of these things I participate in, the clearer and more calm my mind is, which meaning I am able to focus on my true goals. Incremental daily progress is better than acquiescence to mediocrity.
