What is your drive behind doing things? You seem to have all the time in the world now that you are financially independent, and you don't seem to feel the need to 'save the world'. What is your criteria for finding something meaningful to do?
Do you do much along the lines of meditation, yoga, living in the present? I'd love to hear you elaborate a bit on those topics if so.
I have been feeling anxious about how I spend my time..and I keep asking myself "And then what?". I'm trying to find things that will make me feel I've lived a good life. Funnily enough, I lean towards kids as they seem like they'd give me this sense of meaning. I like the idea of starting a family. I know you don't want children, so I am more interested to hear your thoughts on this.
Do you still accept guest posts? Sometimes I see your old recycled posts ask for guest posts but I don't know if they are relevant. I'd be happy to write about my story from an angle you'd like to hear for a guest post. I also want to go on a bike tour or van tour (fits my current lifestyle very well since I am not tied down at all) - and would be very interested in heading your direction to visit you. I would be happy to help you out with renovations (great learning experience for me) and have some very interesting conversations
I do things because I find them interesting. Don't we all? Well, maybe not. But I seem attracted, like a moth to light, towards solving big problems as long as they're compatible with my skills which seem to be in understanding complex systems. As long as I'm entertained and challenged, I'm good ...
I hope to be able to keep finding such problems and unfortunately I don't have a complete line-up ready for the rest of my life.
I do absolute nothing when it comes to yoga, meditation, and living in the moment. That is to say, I am quite focused on my mental state and how "my brain" works, but as far as my understanding of these things go, it has little connection to yoga or meditation methods although the outcome may be the same. I live very much in the future always considering possibilities and different lines of what could happen. I have no regard for the past and practically no regard for the present. The present is but a fleeting moment; the past is gone forever, but the future has many possibilities open.
I also continuously ask myself "and then what".
Guest posts and any renovation help are happily accepted. As long as you're somewhat sane, you can stay here for a while
(have to check with DW).
