Expand your conciousness
Man, being more conscious is wonderful. Why do we drink alcohol? Why do we try block out the real world. The real world is fucking incredible and we’re conditioned to not get excited, to not appreciate things as much, we’re conditioned to take things for granted because of our capitalist society that teaches us that we always need to aim to acquire more material possessions. They try condition us to fall out of love with the real world. Open your eyes, relax your mind and appreciate the world, appreciate your friends, your family. We’re all architects, architects of our own reality, in complete control of what we want to experience. Let’s create wonderful things that bring happiness and joy to the world.
Our society focuses too much on negativity, positive energy should be the currency of life. Money can help you find happiness and peace but often the acquiring of money leads us to dark places, overworks us, makes us do something we don’t want to do in order to acquire something that we’ve been conditioned to like. We’re always told its good to have money but is it really to have money if we’re sacrificing love, happiness and peace of mind? We should block out the external interferences and really focus on what we want. I believe meditation can help with this. The only thing you should want for other people is for them to be happy, you should not expect anyone to do something to make you proud, my children’s only conditioning will be that they should do what makes them happy, long term. Don’t make someone fight with their instincts. Don’t put any weight of expectation on other people.
Actually I don’t believe money can make anyone happy long term. At all. Making a lot of money probably meant you wanted to make a lot of money, which also means you were successful in what you tried to do and achieved your goal. Achieving goals gives you satisfaction. Also those who are successful in their goals make good decisions that lead to good long term outcomes. I think making good decisions is a good indicator of whether you’re going to be happy or not. Someone who makes bad decisions will still make bad decisions if they have a lot of money. Eg spend it all on pointless things.
How to make good decisions? This is very subjective but I believe filling your life around positive people, thinking and doing positive energy things, avoiding anxieties and building fears up by paying too much attention to negative events. Opening up to people, connecting with people, understanding people. Enjoying the world for what it is, and being a good architect of course ;). I think being more conscious has a lot to do with this. Being aware of what puts us in a good mood, being good to our bodies and mind. Smiling. Living life without fear. This also needs a lot of personal exploration to fully understand how to make good decisions for you.
