I'm currently listening to Rogan's podcast with Elon Musk where they talk about what a person would do if they never had to work again in the future.

It's sad but I have to admit that I don't know. I don't know what I enjoy. I'm so caught up in work that I've forgotten how to enjoy life.

Is anyone else going through something similar??? Think about it for a second...

Some random thoughts from someone who is exploring that perspective since 2013. And no, it's not (just) about money. People living with literally nothing materially in caves as proof that it is even more so about (de)conditioning. What do I really need? What makes me vibrant?

Life is about learning, contributing and finding yourself spiritually within this universe, nature and community/family and at some stage in our development involuntary work (and taxes) for many people may be part of that journey.

Problems won't magically go away just because you do not need to work in the fiat machine any more. PoW (entropy) is what life is all about. Work is caring for yourself, for others for nature. It's responsibility and self-discipline.

Plenty of things that will drive your curiosity. Plenty of things (traumas) you'll start to work on. Plenty of things you will be guiding other people in a healthy grounded way.

These are the thoughts I've been having lately. How much do I/my family need?! They need me as their father and not someone just providing financially.

It will take at least two years to get on track but sometimes the burden is so heavy.

But you said it - discipline! That is the key

I figured there is a difference between harsh discipline (your ego makes you take cold showers to proof something) and natural discipline (your being (often softly) demands to give it the full experience of a cold shower and a stream of freshness). Which means learning to listen and to respond in a coherent way that allows for exception while not loosing the track.

Most people will have to go through phase one to reach phase two. Just wanted to let you know that things /development move in cycles and at times self-discipline means also means having dedicated space and time for letting go off your harshness and caress yourself in the most loving way.

There's likely no short cut other than appreciating the waves. Humans are really ban tinge agile on a deep level. Almost nothing breaks them. So feel free to experiment.
