the path to enlightenment with work is realizing you aren't special and the work isn't special. this actually is the only path to doing something that is special
you're clacking away at a laptop sitting in an air-conditioned room. you are not grinding. you are not lazy, you are not procrastinating. you are not winning. you are not behind. you are not really anything except moving your fingers. there is no right way to do it or wrong way to do it. the gates arent real, even if the gatekeepers wish you would think they were. you are allowed to do things without the right credentials your credentials also dont matter at the deepest level.
work is quite simple. you are moving things around and transforming them. bits, atoms, or emotions. its all just work. changing a diaper is no different than typing at a keyboard is no different than turning rocks into diamonds
enormous suffering could be avoided if people let go of the idea that the purpose of a human life is some imaginary path of achievement.
just do stuff you feel called to do. you're allowed to do it well. or lazily. or randomly.
Joined the Tesla family this week with a blue model Y. Thanks @elonmusk and @tesla for making such a sweet ride. I can't wait for it to do all the driving for me!
