the miserable paradox you could be trapped in...
and how you can avoid it.
03.08.24
How about having more.
Having a new, model of the year car.
Having extra phone cases just for, you know, go out in style.
Having a nicer laptop.
A new cellphone.
Having more… stress?
Anxiety?
Those are really not the wishes you pray for…
I thought more progress would bring in itself more happiness.
That all perceivable suffering would end or at least change for the better.
It didn´t. In fact, I was a lunatic to dare think about progress that way.
Progress isn´t a miracle pill for achieving a better life.
It´s a conduct.
A conduct for you to make progress meaningful.
Think about progress as a big structure in the middle of a small town.
Soon enough you´d want to see bigger houses around it.
Bigger business, more offers, more cars passing by, more people around the street.
That´s the nature of progress: as long as it is alive, it´ll need more to satisfy itself.
Therefore, we need to train it.
Speak to it a better view of what real progress means to us.
So, for the more we have… the less we want.
That´s what will make the whole difference.
Progress is a measure of ours.
Why give it all control?
Hope this resonated with you, friend.
Keep rocking it, you are making good progress, I know you do.
