you are just a combination of time and energy
If you don't forget that you come with an expiry date, and that too not fixed like on medicines, but anytime. If this fundamental fact is not forgotten, you will have a blissful life.
But why?
All the things in our life look silly. Like
- Not happy with someone for not being the way you expected.
- Plans about how to earn the next big money.
- I don't know what work to do.
- What will people think if I change the direction from the one I am going now?
- I might fail in this adventure, so no adventures. Adventure means 99% changes to fail. Why not take the safe path of working and earning what ever is needed in full?
When the fundamental fact is not forgotten, all these worries just vanish, if they pop in mind, they look silly. Adventure might not mean 99% chances to fail. It means you are trying to do something useful and it takes lot of effort to make it real. Which is good since it pushes to the limits of your capability.
If you want to do and make something happen, its better to not entertain questions like.
Is it for fame or money or is it wish?
How do you make money from this?
These question are poisonous, because mind is just a recycler of thoughts that you come across. Don't allow someone to put such resistance building poisonous thoughts in your mind. Just ask, I need to get this done, can you do anything for me? If they say hmm or no, then just drop the discussion or send them some funny video link for their entertainment, so you can work for the thing you wanted to do. If they say yes, give them some task and see. Just see.
When you have audacious thoughts, shut your mouth and just work on them.
