Am I becoming one of them?
3:30 In the night, staring at the ceiling while some random poker stream is running. Tomorrow will be my first Easter not at my parents house, they moved away to another place. So I am going to talk to my computer spitting some hate while sharing some thoughts with you.
I noticed a strange pattern in myself and others, I am becoming a boring adult. It shows in being careful with material things. Be careful with the floor, be careful with the car, be careful this and that. It starts to get annoying, and I am asking myself whether this is the right way to approach things. That are just some material things wood, steel, and plastic, everything can be replaced or doesn’t matter in the first place. But we act as if our life depends on it, and we need to advise everybody how this super meaningful stuff has to be handled. I want to become a strong Neanderthal who doesn’t give a damn about all of that, I think it’s easier to live like that.
All that carefulness makes us scared. Because we know how everything has to run, we get afraid to try out new things and let go of old ones. Living without a car, no no, that is scary. I know it’s better with a car. Moving away? No, no, that is too scary, I know this place so good, it is very comfortable. The price of eggs got up 10%, oh no, oh no, we all going to die! Scary, scary, scary, everything is scary.
That brings me to the next point to vent about. Adults and their valuable life advice, because we red 5 books or put 5 screws in the wall, we know how everything has to run and to function. And again, we need to teach everybody about that. Booooring! If somebody who is broke trying to tell you how to build a successful business, be aware! If somebody with the biggest relationship problems tells you how to handle a partnership, put you brain on standby and let the background noise pass.
I have build in a filter system for advice and opinions: when the advice giver is not extremely muscular, having millions in the bank or is a proven master in his craft, I will mostly ignore that advice and opinion. Most of this advice is worth as much as chicken sounds in the morning.
Use my filter life-hack guys to get the best information. Sell your car and go to Bali! Also don’t listen to me because I am just an idiot in his end 30s trying to sound smart on the interwebz.
I wish you all a beautiful Easter fest.
