Day 244. Less is more

   I don't know about you, but from time to time I realize I have some things I want to change to myself. Today I realized I give waaaay too many details when I transmit a piece of information.

   I know what I want to say, but I make a story out of everything. I don't know how I got here. Maybe it's that I'm used to talk to my parents like that and give them details on whatever the issue. Hmmm... The fact that my brother said "I don't care" several times should have triggered something inside me, but I always redirected my attention towards others who did care. 

   So from now on I want to pay more attention to what I say and how I say it. It's like needing to write the summary of a novel every time I say something. Very hard but very useful too! 

Day 229. Pass it on

   Today I realized that our human brain can be associated with computers. Computers that receive information and pass it on. The only difference is that, unlike them, we somehow have the ability to change details, even if the content stays the same. I guess we're drawn to wrapping the information as interesting as possible:)

   Just think about it. Every day we hear, read or see something new and we talk about it with people around us. We spread lots of information that makes us feel a strong emotion. Do we tell others uninteresting stuff we read on Facebook? No, we don't because our brain  only remembers the things we connect to, the ones that speak to us. So we transmit them forward. It's part of who we are. At the end of the day, no matter if we think about it or not, we can't standby. 

What type of information have you transmitted today? Has it made people around you smile or has it made them feel appalled and lose faith in humanity again? Think about it. Do you try to focus on the bright side of life or do you just let your brain always lead you to the negative one? What you say is what you are:)
