We can no longer imagine ourselves without these things. They help us every day and make life more interesting. At the same time, we are burdened by lack of focus and the need for maintenance. We live and don’t think about it, but it’s not so fun anymore and we feel tired.

Yes, we will have to live with all this!

We won’t be able to refuse this. But we have to figure out what is needed and what is not. You can start right now, or tomorrow. But smart and attentive people will definitely have to figure it out. The rest both swam and will float with the flow, taking every day for granted.

If we create things, then we need to be even more careful. Our future is not about governments and corporations, but about what surrounds us every day. This affects us more than elections, wars and disasters.

You can go into the forest - return to your roots, giving up everything overnight. Those who understand the origins will see the ugliness of the modern world. It’s bad if such departure is just a manifestation of cowardice.

This is our world. We have the power to make it the way we need it. All we have to do is understand ourselves what we really need and simply create it, leave it or throw it away.

You can object: “I don’t want to, I have to step over myself, but I need to do it. The man overcomes difficulties!”

If necessary, do it! I’m not saying what you shouldn’t do or that overcoming difficulties is bad. But if we return to the previous note of this series, there must be a goal and one must try to find the best path to it.

Look at the men beating their chests ¹, who kill themselves for the sake of who knows what. Their life is hell, they are miserable, but they continue to kill themselves.

We are intelligent. This means you need to follow the path of the mind, and not anyhow (and wherever your eyes look).

I love how ideas that sound banal and magical actually work when they turn into practical things.

I just thought that resistance helps because… What is the essence of the resistance you are experiencing? A reaction, a hint from the body that something is wrong. This means you need to step back and try again, then do the same thing, but a little differently.

One might object: “What about overcoming difficulties? Maybe sometimes it’s worth overpowering yourself and getting through the difficulty? Break yourself? Of course, you can look at this in different ways and I will be happy to hear your point of view in the comments.

I believe that (and here is an often-heard and, at first glance, banal idea) we have a way. So there is a goal. So how can we be hindered by an obstacle if the goal is clear? We’ll get there sooner or later. Or we won’t get there. Perhaps we’ll find a new goal along the way.

Also think about the fact that there are nested goals. One global and many smaller ones. They are also goals, but at the same time they are also pointers that lead to the global one.

This means that what we should learn, what we should pay a lot of attention to is the ability to find a goal.

Life is an endless process from enjoying order to encountering chaos. We definitely don’t have enough time to understand the order of life (although what is order and whether there is one at all). Jordan Peterson urged to clean up your room first.

People perceive minimalism superficially - get rid of the unnecessary, be content with little. Beautiful and fashionable minimalist interiors promise happiness, but there is no happiness without meaning. It’s not the empty desk that’s important, it’s the path to the empty, clean desk. You can throw everything off your desk but still be unhappy and continue to feel tired and panicky.
