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...
I've been done listening to these podcasts, 2 rich motherfuckers that don't have to work are talking about this. And poor people are just fucking listening nah. We aint doing that no more.
It's incredibly important to recognize this and ask yourself...
What did you especially enjoy doing as a child? What fulfills you? If I didn't know what fulfills me, I would take some time out, go into nature, and reconnect with myself.
It's so alarming to read that there are people who have sacrificed so much that they've almost forgotten their inner selves.
It might sound a bit spiritual/esoteric, etc., but that's what spontaneously came to my mind when I read your text 💜 Let's find your spark again ❤️‍🔥
I know what fulfills me… I love helping others, inspiring them to live healthier lives, and inspiring them with my creations. It fills me with immense gratitude when I'm asked to prepare delicious, healthy food and see how good it makes people feel to eat something tasty and healthy at the same time…Made with love and dedication. And I love being creative, I love sharing my knowledge about health with people and seeing them take better care of themselves, leaving behind old, unhealthy patterns... There is so much more 🥰
I am glad you've found your purpose . It is something I've been thinking about lately.
And thank you for reaching out 🙏
I'm not getting rich yet by following my calling... I believe that's the moment when you truly feel fulfilled, when you can earn 100% of your living by pursuing your calling.
A strong calling transcends the urge to earn for a living. It's beyond earthly matters as it comes from an eternal place that is not bound to our material plane where living often means survival.
Sometimes a calling will provide necessities. Sometimes it won't. I'd encourage to not attach it to be sufficient in all regards, when it's you just beginning to learn the language of the universe.
So there are probably no examples of people that have followed their callings and haven't received what they deserved.
The idea of receiving what we deserve can be tricky. Life doesn’t always reward effort in visible ways. But even when a calling doesn’t meet every material need, it can bring a sense of meaning that nothing else does.
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.
I am thinking a lot about this
And taking action around it
Years, indeed generations of conditioning is in the way, that judges my position in which “I don’t have to work right now”
I have enough of a Bitcoin position to allow me to home-school my kids for a few years
Bitcoin gives me this. Deflationary savings technology
I don’t have to run a company
I don’t have to manage a real estate portfolio
I can just be at home, be in my family every day, and anything on top of that I can do as a creative outlet
I call this “humanistic investing” and is an entirely seperate pool of capital to financial capital
To summarise: when you control your time, you can do what you want, which is easier said than done, but might well mean you invest in non-financial returns

Thank you for this 🙏
I suppose you already experienced it, but it is so hard to get out of this system. It feels like running on a treadmill but it is getting faster every day, even hour or minute.
I always blamed my self for all the successes and all the downfalls. So I believe the way out is to be found.
Nice ro know there are like minded souls out there. Really appreciate it
Yes. Most Americans are going through this.
Nobody knows what they enjoy anymore.
(other than a screen infront of their face)
The constant work, and having to work harder just to live, has erased everyone's memory of what joy from life is. It's why everyone's on edge anywhere you go and definitely sewhat responsible for how people act online now a days if you ask me.
For reference, it only took 3 generations to completely forget how to be self sufficient.
From our great grandparents, grandparents, our parents, and now we don't know shit about fuck.
Their system isn't flawed, it's working perfectly as they intend.
Let's make ours.
Build on bitcoin.

That is what scares me - they winning. There is more to life than this and I need to show my kids that by example.
Retired this year. Off the treadmill.
I exercise, I ponder the world around me walking and cycling. I feather the home nest. I keep an ear open via social media(Nostr/X). I practice my faith.
I don’t have to “do” something all the time unless inspiration or circumstances call for it. Life is good. #btc gives peace of mind regarding the $$.✌️
It is long way there for me đź’Ş
