Post 982: Building a Better World

June 01, 20251 min read

If I do something because I feel like I have to, I don’t put my best effort forward. I don’t look forward to doing it again. I don’t think about ways to do it better. I don’t really care what affect it has on the world.

If I do something because I enjoy it, the exact opposite outcomes are true.

Therefore, my life is better the more ways I can find to do things I want to do and get rid of the things I don’t.

An important caveat to this is thinking about secondary effects. If doing something I don’t like now gets me something I want later, that is a motivation itself. If doing something for someone I love or like helps them, that typically makes me happy as well, no matter how little I enjoy doing the activity.
