Mastery
-
Mastery If you want to change the world, start by making your bed. If you make your bed routinely you will master making your bed. And as you do so eventually you will no longer be bound by the ritual. And you will continue through other masteries. And no longer be bound by beds. But if you can't master something without discipline, then you need discipline. Make your bed, to free yourself from beds. Then you will have transcended the bed. And you can make the bed into anything you want it to be. Discipline begets mastery begets freedom, begets effective movement, begets understanding, begets communion with God. By making your bed you change your behavior. By changing your behavior you change yourself. By changing yourself, you change how you feel. By changing how you feel, you change your behavior. Master this.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
I wholeheartedly disagree. This is a preaching of non-interference, of passiveness and ignoring all problems that are not part of making that bed. If you want to change the world, then don't just stare at your own navel. Learning to make your bed changes only that - you making your bed. Get that piece of nonsense out of my view, it is a limiting drivel. Worse, if you believe in it, you should not be here, advising others. Go to your own bed, and be limited.

making your bed is simple work. masters delegate, workers do. getting good at something by repeating the task is not mastery, it's muscle memory. repeating the same task over and over sweat shop workers can sew a collar on a t-shirt in seconds, what have they mastered? 20 cents a week and not getting whacked by the boss? so 1. screw making the bed, I'll just close the door and you mind tour own business. 2. if you're going to quote communist manifesto crap please take it to the soapbox, or china where it belongs

I'm lazy. I went out and bought a bed, rather than making it.

The goal of the speech is preventing people from pointing elsewhere. Like to the government or their boss. It is a call to stare at your navel and shut up. What is required is the opposite.

It's not about limiting yourself. Simply starting with what's in front of you. Master the bed and you will no longer be bound by beds. It's about self training and self discipline. The bed is something simple. A place to begin. Not somewhere to end.

I don't mind making the bed, provided two things: 1) The cat isn't in "Supervisor Mode". :sigh: 2) It's a "proper" sheet rather than one of those ghastly "fitted sheets" which don't fit properly because the mattress is too thick, or too thin; fall off the corners at night and rumple up under you; don't hang easily to dry; are impossible to fold neatly when you've washed them. Give me proper sheets, so I can do "hospital corners" and I'm happy.

Rome did not build an empire by concentrating on making their beds. Rome built an empire by enslaving and/or killing anyone who opposed them. Their empire lasted longer than your bed is likely to last.

One needs but believe the bed is made and it is made. One masters oneself in this way, and thus is not mastered by others. (Especially those telling them how to master themselves).

I made my bed yesterday. I woke up this morning and the bedclothes were all over the place. Think of how many ways I could have better used my time yesterday. If I abandon a pointless practice entirely, have I not transcended it?
