Day 52: On Thinking for Yourself

When I meet someone, I consider how normal their life is. I do this not

because  it’s  a  one  hundred  percent  accurate  heuristic  on  how  much  I’ll

respect someone, but because it’s damn close. If you have a totally normal

life,  then  there  are  only  two  possibilities:  you’ve  thought  through  every

aspect of your life and miraculously agree with society on each one, or you

don’t think at all. I try not to associate with people who don’t think.

Self-discipline is hard to attain, and because it’s not common, sooner

or later somebody will deem your behaviors abnormal.

I maintain a healthy weight and physique, but I still fast for 16 to 20

hours  daily,  and  abstain  from  food  for  36  hours  or  more  every  several

weeks.

My relationship with food is often criticized by other people. If I don’t



stuff  my  face  with  food  every  three  hours,  then  surely  I’ve  developed  an

eating disorder. The norm is to eat often, and if your behavior differs from

it,  you’re  weird.  However,  I  do  what  I  consider  to  be  best  for  me,  and  I

refuse  to  follow  different  eating  habits  merely  because  it’s  the  most

common way of doing things.

It’s difficult to trust your own judgment when everybody around you is

doing  something  different,  but  if  everything  you  do  is  in  accordance  with

society’s  norms,  then  what  you’re  going  to  get  is  the  same  results  as

everybody else does who follows those norms.

So what if others think it’s weird that you’d rather save money instead

of buying a new car every two years? You’re the one who has less financial

stress, even if it costs you a little to reject the temptation to spend money

unnecessarily.

So what if you’re not partying every weekend like everybody else and

instead  work  hard  to  grow  your  business?  You’re  the  one  who  will

eventually  enjoy  wealth,  while  those  others  will  complain  about  their

finances for the rest of their lives.



So what if people consider you weird because you go to sleep at nine

and  wake  up  at  five  in  the  morning,  while  they  stay  up  until  two  in  the

morning watching TV shows? It’s you who’s going to get more done by ten

in the morning than they’ll accomplish in the entire week!

Trust  your  own  judgment  and  think  for  yourself.  It’s  better  to  suffer

from  your  own  choices  than  waste  your  life  away  because  you  were

mindlessly following the herd.
