When you’re not looking for solutions — you find ideas.

When you’re looking for solutions — your vision is constrained by the question you have asked. Question you now feel compelled to answer.

You have a certain problem, certain question, and you must solve it. There are many ways of reaching the solution. There are often many solutions. But never as many as there are ideas.

If there are so many paths to a solution of particular problem — just imagine how many paths there are to different outcomes, different ideas, different creations…

You will never explore them, however, because your pursuit is limited to solving a particular problem.

 

Imagine that you are walking in the meadows, looking to harvest chamomile. You go by all those different herbs, but your vision is limited by harvesting chamomile. You could instead have gotten yourself a nettle tea. Or perhaps there’s some mint growing there along your way? Or rosemary? Or chime.

But you won’t see it. Because your vision is limited by solving a particular problem.

Now, if i haven’t found the chamomile, but found mint instead – I would have a mint tea

And if I found both — I would have a chamomile tea, and then a mind tea, the other day.

You would either have nothing — or just the chamomile.

 

Now, how is this relevant?

Most of our pursuits in life are very narrow. Very specific. Very limited.

You pick for yourself ONE JOB, and then you must finish it ONE WAY. You have one job and one way of doing it. You have one job and you must get this and that done. You can’t just do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. You must be producing concrete results.

You get yourself a list of new year’s resolutions — and you get out of your way to finish it. Or you fail. It upsets you. Because things must be produced. Results must be shown. It’s a waste of time for you if it didn’t BENEFIT YOU somehow.

 

It’s a terrible mindset.

If you could achieve something in this life, something of value and permanence — you would be taking it with you to the other side. Your bank account would disappear the moment you were dead – going to fucking heaven with you.

But that is not happening. Because there is nothing to achieve. There is only the moment.

Being obsesses with results is a terrible way of living.

 

With that said — ironically — you actually ARE more productive when you loosen up. When you cease obsessing about the result. When you try many different things.

This is because you harvest both chamomile, mint, rosemary, chimes, nettle, dandelion, clover, oregano… and everything else.

Look how VAST this world is. This life is. You could do SO MANY THINGS. All those things are free. You think you must earn things to enjoy them. It’s just that all the best things in life are free anyway.

Get rich AFTER you have exhausted the infinite blissfulness of just being, with nature, with other person, with your own body, your soul, your mind, your two hands.

Or get rich by accident.

It’s ironically far more feasible when you cease missing out on the glorious potential that is there. Missing out as you are busy pursuing some stupid project to completion, acting within someone else paradigm, having your entire life planned out until the day you die, never diverting from the preconceived road…

Let go of all this nonsense and explore this world of abundance.
