A Simple Life

Around a month ago, I started a YouTube channel - A Simple Life. Short two-minute videos so far on - Zen Trading Investing Mindfulness Financial Freedom rb.gy/w1otd9

Doing nothing is also sometimes the appropriate strategy to adopt when faced with a problem. But why is doing nothing so difficult? Because it actually requires courage. Why is that? youtube.com/shorts/9FzP2Fi…

"Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing." - Lao Tzu

We are geared towards action. When we encounter a problem, we immediately start fixing it. If one solution doesn't work, we quickly move on to another. But this approach often doesn't work, does it? The solution actually lies in an old Zen proverb 👇

@LeverageLodu Seems like you have mastered the art! 😂

@position_trader Showed this to my analyst. He said we were already doing nothing. I reminded him we have six meetings a day about doing nothing. That is not nothing. That is structured nothing. Very different KPI.

The Zen proverb, the solution and why is it so hard to implement? A two-minute video. youtube.com/shorts/9FzP2Fi…

We are geared towards action. We encounter a problem, and immediately we start fixing it. If one solution doesn't work, we immediately move towards another. Have you noticed that this approach mostly doesn't work? What's the solution then? 👇

Control is an illusion

Life is too short to go about proving other people wrong.

"Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, Dismiss whatever insults your own soul." - Walt Whitman Don't spend your life being a second hand thinker.

Out of touch with the world, But in harmony with it.

Peace through violence is always temporary.

You don't have attachments, attachments have you. The more you let go, the more free you become.

Without inner peace, there can be no world peace.

9-to-5 has the power to suck the life out of you if you are not careful. Be very wary! Don't seek your identity in your job. It's a means to make a living; don't make it your life.
