dark, come so their right to it as we optimize your life of course it on. Reasonable dummy by Joshua Field's medal. Of the minimalist star com. I recently imagined in elaborate conversation between my twenty seven year old self and my thirty year old Self, myself from yesteryear, verses myself from today. Sadly, it was not a pretty exchange. Suffice it to say there was a vast ideological dichotomy between these two guys looking down on their tete, a tete. From my omniscient point of view, this is a small chunk of what I observed my twenty seven year old self. Had it all figured out, he could do no wrong. He was too confident red mare again for his own good. He had a high paying job fancy title

as a young corporate executive, the longterm career goals, the short term, spend more money than I make goals that big house the fancy cars, the big screen, tvs and all the stuff that was eventually going to make him happy. Once all the puzzle pieces fit perfectly. My thirty World self had it all figured out to but radically different way. He knew he had. Get it all out as soon as he had stop trying to figure it all out. He knew he didn't oh everything. Nor would he ever, but he knew that with every year that past he would continue to grow slightly older man also found a certain amount of contempt for the younger man, and it was hard for him to hide this disdain. He can believe his self of yesteryear play so much importance in material possessions. He didn't value the most important things in life, health relationships, passions, growth and contribution with that contempt also came

from the older man pity for a man who was lost but didn't know he was lost more than raising the older man sympathise with the younger man be I've been on the same path? A few years earlier, the two men talked for awhile stating their points of view. Both men had, passionate, seemingly valid arguments and rationalizations further persuasions, and they each had there controversial dogmas more so they thought there was one gaping. Did between these two men. Many could see it in the younger man's eyes. The two seven year. Old man was not happy sure he wore a mantle of happiness and experience short bursts of pleasure or satisfaction, but he wasn't true. Really happy inside, and all the fancy Things in the world weren't going to make. Content, if anything Those things only increased his requirement for more things to pacify a deeper problem. These two men talked about happiness The younger man wasn't sure why he was unhappy. He had everything's aside I told him he was supposed to have right deal to manage

that contentment was found within and that no, MT of external factors were going to promote the discontentment within the older man. I wanted to share with you learned over the last couple years. He shared how he found a country men in relationships with his close friends. How he found satisfaction in growing as an individual and contributing to The people in meaningful ways how he found happiness in pursuing his passions, not pursuing more stuff. So you just left your high paying job got rid of most of your stuff started living a meaningful life? The younger man asked in a half marking cynical tone. Yes, it didn't happen overnight, though. It took a couple years of focus a few years being anxious a few years of being aware of what is truly important. I had to make a phenomenon

shift in the way I live might, but most people are living that way. The younger man interrupted with a raise voice. He was heated. He felt his way of life. His entire identity was being questioned. After all, he had worked so hard to get all the stuff he had to get the identity. He now possess and who are you to tell me my lifestyles wrong? Who that, for you to tell me how to live my life I'm telling you how to live your life, I'm simply stating the obvious. Will you do Right now is not making you happy, Nor are you on the path to happiness the if you are on leads to more discontent. My noah, because I've been down the same path until you focus on what's important until you focus on. What's going on inside you, you won't be happy whatever giving up this lifestyle just to pursue my path, Ten seems incredibly unreasonable. The younger man shouted, of course, is unreasonable the older man now back being unhappy and discontent is completely reasonable. Within our society we see it.

Every day being reasonable means. Lowering your standards being reasonable means What everyone else expects you to do being reasonable means. Being an average life, but I'd rather be extraordinarily unreasonable and content and happy a rather live a meaningful. Albeit unreasonable life. Get unreasonable and everything's possible forget about being raised well being reasonable. Got me into the same pile of you're in now, you just listen to the poles. Titled, of course, is unreasonable. Dummy Josh reveals Milburn other Minimalist star come and take you again to babble for their support.
