It’s still a mystery to me.
The fact that we become basically more intelligent, smooth, quick on our feet, and better problem solvers…
… when we don’t care?
No one likes a try hard, especially not the school of life.
As soon as something MUST happen or you NEED it to happen, the glands in the human body produce the desperation hormone— and the universe dodges you like you sent it a horrifying sext message.
It’s science, if you’re desperate– nothing but failure will touch you.
Then theres the reward of openness. No phucking idea why this is a thing but heres what I’ve observed.
When I needed to know where I was going and what my purpose in life was— do you have any idea how far removed I became? Figuratively and Literally. My death grip led to material divorce, and she (the universe) took everything.
So, Why— when I stopped giving a shit, casual success rained over me and things played out far better than I could have imagined?
I think it’s less magical than we imagine.
Play boosts our creativity, and the state of play is openness. At the same time, if we’re overly attached to the end goal, we’re not open enough to adapt with the changes on the way to that goal.
You’ve heard them say, “love the process.”
The reason is it’s literally what will keep you going. Your journey is random, it’s supposed to be. There will be trolls, treasures, triumphs, and tragedies. If you only care about the end, you’ll find yourself pissed off all the time.
Mainly because, you’re delaying winning til you score.
Everything you come across will be a distraction, rather than an opportunity.
When I let go, I was free to try a bunch of other shit. The random things led to my success, not the planned ambitions.
If you want to succeed, do the things you’d do– just to do.
And stop giving a shit– this is the hardest one. But if you can do this, while still pursuing a better life, you become this alpha upgraded human being.
And then succeed.
I guess it’s a universal law: Be ambitious and have drive, but don’t let it take your play. Maybe thats the answer to the universe, its the lesson I need.
