Constantly striving to excel and have enough wealth to have it all. We struggle to fulfill what others tell us we should have. Yet, how often are those that tell you that you need something to be happy, happy themselves?
Have nothing, owe nothing, do nothing, be nothing. Nothing is a whole and valid entity.
Have nothing; now you are free to do as you will, travel, explore, never feel bound to possessions.
Owe nothing; fulfill your obligations as they arrive, don't let others feel ownership of you.
Do nothing; don't fill every moment with activity, find value in taking 30 minutes every day to dedicate to doing nothing. This helps eliminate procrastination.
Be nothing; Stop trying to label yourself, stop trying to be what others say you should be, do just as much as is needed to pay your bills. With all the time you have gained, dedicate yourself to something worthwhile. Such as, Art, Music, Writing, Mentoring, Fitness. Be nothing so that you may fill yourself with value.
Ain't that the truth.
ReplyDelete"30 minuttes of doing nothing" I bet that's harder than it sounds.
ReplyDeleteSo right P-Chan, it's funny, I found myself procrastinating doing nothing for a while. Once you realize you're doing that it seems so ridiculous that it makes it easier to stop wasting your time and actually do nothing.
ReplyDeletegood read! i enjoyed it
ReplyDeletei agree with harder than it sounds comment
haaa we all wish for wealth, one day I shall be wealthy, I shall :D
ReplyDeleteNot everyone is fulfilled by the pursuit of wealth. I know I would be happy to lower my expenses and my workload to match. It would give me so much more time to write, study, and enjoy exploring the world.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's really hard to live this way. :D
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Savage Nugget, to step outside of our norm, to try it all a different way is hard. To break your routine and rebuild it a new one feels impossible, until after you've done it.
ReplyDeleteOf course, when you are in those hard times, and struggling to make it to tomorrow, the hardest thing to do is say you are worth a moment of your time. I've been there, but it all passes.
We all need breaks like this, sometimes we don't have to go travel to a new land to be like this. We all have the chance to have our own vacation anywhere.
ReplyDeleteInspiring. I like it
