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.
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).

Hmm. I learned (entirely by accident) when my wife was watching Martha Stewart and I walked through the room.

Your argument provides ample proof that you are a master debater.

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?

Indeed, we will never win the war against entropy but that shouldn't stop us trying. However, I'm yet to hear a good argument in favour of housework!
