Shut Up and Sit Down

It is basically the same mindset I have been talking about. The habit of forcing yourself to go less and focus back on your very first question — What is the purpose of your life? What do you want to do? Figure out the answer, and then live with it. Always remember that buying extra gadgets or reading this hack or that hack would not help, if you never sit down and spend the mindful time working on it. 

So, to live it, what do you do? Firstly, you shut up. You stop talking about useless things. You stop gossiping. Not only that, but you shut up and talk to your inner self. Maybe you stare at a point that is far away. Maybe you go for a walk. However, you do it. You shut up and let yourself own that silence and moment. Then, you write your thoughts down, type your monologue out, or draw what’s on your mind. Ultimately, your goal is to shut up and find yourself. Find that meaning of your life. 

Next, you sit down and work on it. You may not be necessarily sit down if your mission of life involves many activities or moving, as you may think. By sit down, I really mean the way you stop going for external thing. You sit down and let the time and space pass through you. Basically, you sit down and let your time slip. Take that break from your life, which you are probably constantly putting yourself in front of a feed of information, waves after waves. Just sit down. Then, you can see things clearer, without those unnecessary information or distraction. You break down the mission into priorities you can achieve. You then identify the possible actions you can take right after.  

This attitude applies to almost all area of your life. You need to shut up and sit down. 

Recently, one of our new clients have been doing the opposite way. I have to actually talk with him about this. He needs to figure out his “why” before going for mouth and mouth complains because those complaints are not necessarily relevant to him at the moment. Yet, without a clear why or purpose of life, he thought that he was achieving things, by complaining. First, the excessive complaints may not worth his time to even consider. Second, the solutions to those complaints may not worth his time as well. He needs to get his “why” written, bold and loud. Next, he needs to work to achieve it. But first, he needs to shut up and sit down.
