simple logic

sometimes life is very simple, like this saying "the more you do it, the more you do it". simply put, the more you do something, the more you wind up doing that thing. if you want to exercise, you starting exercising, as you start to exercise more often, you find that it is much easier to exercise more often than you ever thought it would be, so you exercise more often. and the reverse logic is also true: "the less you do it, the less you do it". all this is because as we do more of something, we make time for it, it becomes part of the routine, conversely as we do less of something, we stop setting time for it, and then we don't have time, energy and/or resources for it anymore, so we stop.

so if you want to do something, just start doing it, you will find that you will starting doing more of it. you still need to research/refine what it is that you're doing, if you want to be better at it though.

in my own life, i find this to be true of exercise, eating, saving, sex, poker, practically everything. once i find something that this logic does not apply to i'll let you know.
