Bettering yourself, part 2: praising someone for something they did right

I picked that one up from this video: so true! There’s a reason for everything our mind does, but sometimes those reasons work against us; that’s not to say our brains are wired badly but that no system is perfect, I guess.

For example: it’s quite necessary for us to take things for granted, and I think our minds are immensely equipped to do this. If one day the “reason I do anything” circuit in your brain shorted, you would be totally fucked! Think how immensely unimportant everything in the world is. It’s almost unimaginably unimportant. But how do you wake up every day and manage to get irritated at the slightest things? A miracle of nature: that’s how! Our minds are experts at taking things for granted for very good reason, but sometimes we need to remind them of all the good that’s going on around us. So give thanks to someone you appreciate!
