Right now you're practically being paralyzed by ur confusion, and u'll stay confused if u don't go out and try. The point is to go out, waste ur time, and find out. Don't expect things to click right away. Waste your time, you'll know what you like and what u don't."
@polymathprogres I prefer saying everyone has the same 24 hours - that covers it at both ends. Time will pass regardless, so don't "spend" time living a life you hate
@TeaTimeHaveACup “I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.“
the notion of “wasted time” makes no sense when you accept that the abstraction of time is just the medium in which our lives unfold for us to experience as is and not a resource from which to constantly extract value
@njluvszombi@polymathprogres Try framing it like you are just spending time on existing. Stillness in today’s world is more of a healing power than ever. less work you do the better that work can actually be anyway. It’s not black and white ofc, fulfillment comes from intentional action+intentional stillness
@polymathprogres something i learned at a mindfulness retreat: instead of “don’t just sit there, do something!” say “don’t just do something, sit there!”
