- Beware with having too many Desires...
* Desires make us unhappy. But, as human beings, we need them.
• * Solution:
*** Let go most of your desires. Pick the one or few that are truly worth to pursuit.
• Less desires -- More relaxed / peaceful --- More Happy

- Byproduct of working on your happiness -- Clear Mind -- Better Judgement -- High Performance / Effectiveness (e.g. in Business)
• Critical in the "Age of Leverage"...
Slightly better judgement * infinite leverage source = Significant better Outcome
** 4 kinds of Leverage -- Media, Capital, Labor, Code (programming).

My takeaway is that the first step before going on to achieve something, is to work on ourselves. To examine our lives (the underlying motives of our desires, fears, anxieties...), to become more focused and gain the ability to channel our attention where we want it to be. Great message

I've realised that anxiety comes from fear of loss in the way of status within hierachy's, fear of deteriorating health, fear of missing out, fear of fruitless hard work, fear of humiliation.
Each of these analysed and addressed lessens anxiety.

One can find 100 reasons, in any part of the world and force oneself to be in a constant state of unhappiness.

Accepting Reality and Cultivating indifference to things outside of one's control, finding Peace, Happiness & Satisfaction is absolutely in one's control.

Very important points made, we need to have reminders of things like this often. I appreciate you giving these thoughts and ideas a platform! 🔥

Calmness with a sprinkle of enjoyment is fucken powerful

I am lost at 1st point itself, The civil war inside my head! I feel most of my desires arise out of all the constant complaints I used to do. I wrote down notes and did some self-observation. Thanks the Picking Nuggets admin.

[sepehrsarjami]

I had been in my head for way too long. I can happily say that I've managed to clear my head and be present. The only problem now is that there is a significant mismatch between me and the world. The world has moved forward. I don't know where to start. All my friends are up there. What do I do?

[sieugiatri]

trí óc minh mẫn, phán đoán tốt hơn, kết quả tốt hơn
bình tĩnh, vui vẻ
học cách chế ngự tâm trí
ít ham muốn, chỉ tập trung vào 1 điều quan trọng nhất
không để tâm trí bận rộn liên tục
đừng có mất quá nhiều năng lượng để lo lắng để lại để tập trung vào mục tiêu
thiền
ngồi xuống thực sự nhìn vào chất lượng cuộc sống của mình
thiền để thực sự nhìn vào đống rác của cuộc đời bạn, những phần mà bạn dùng sự bận rộn để tránh nhìn vào
nó sẽ thay đổi bạn bè, sách bạn đọc, cách bạn ăn uống, mọi thứ
nếu bạn không phá hủy cuộc sống hiện tại, bạn không thể tạo nên cuộc sống mới
khi săp quyết định lớn, thư giãn, để não vào chế độ difuse

[petretrusca]

The take is that you should do them both constantly, not one or another

[aniriddhaw.]

The main question is to how to be that calm all the time ? What they discussed is something everyone knows. Hardly anyone discusses the process

[bmehdiratta]

Fomo is the enemy of zen state of mind

[abdulqadar]

If you are a muslim you should prefer prayers rather than meditation.
