Although it is already late September, it is still mid-summer heat in my area! Too hot! Since the heat knocked me down, let’s talk freely and briefly. Today, I will talk about my new relaxed lifestyle.
How to stop pursuing the fast results
Sometimes, we want fast results, especially when we are stagnant. We want to achieve something great as soon as possible.
That makes us ignore our individuality and try to compete in the same major way as the majority. Finding a way to use our personality usually takes time, although it would give us a great fortune. On the other hand, imitating others gives us instant effectiveness, but it becomes outdated quickly.
Still, the more impatient we are, the more we want immediate results.
I had been like that for a long time. Although I wanted a relaxed life, I could not slow down. I encouraged myself to be energetic as much as possible, even if I convinced myself by forceful reasoning. I believed that that would give me a great result. Although I knew that was stressful and wanted to stop such a life in my heart, I ignored it. That exhausted me for a long time.
However, after resolving an inferiority complex, I saw such impatience disappear. Of course, I prepare as much as possible. For example, investment is one of the preparations for the future. I like it, and it gives me a good reward. However, I started to wait calmly if there was no more to prepare for.
Today, I will explain such a new lifestyle that gives me a peaceful life.
A life with wait
If we have a direction in life, we can wait. On the other hand, if we don’t, we are afraid of stopping.
Perhaps it is because a direction in life gives us confidence to move forward. If we set the direction, we will never get lost. We are in one of the three states: move forward (including preparations), adjust direction (including disposing of unnecessary preparations), or wait.
For example, we can wait calmly at the airport if we already booked our flight.
On the other hand, if we don’t have a direction in life, we often cannot stop or wait. It may be because we are afraid of stagnation. That makes us impatient and feel like we should be doing something. In other words, we believe that the wait is not worth it and that doing something creates value, regardless of the direction.
Sometimes, that makes us behave confusingly. We rush toward the instant goal while not knowing what we want in our hearts. Although it allows us to forget pains by focusing on something, we cannot stop that activity because we fear knowing it could be meaningless. That makes us begin to be afraid of facing our honest minds.
A more calm way of life
Perhaps we will know we don’t have to be so energetic if we can be more honest with ourselves.
In my case, I liked words of encouragement and cheerfulness. I had always rushed toward my goals without rest. However, at the root of my mind, I always wanted a relaxing life. I realized I had ignored such a want by focusing on temporary goals.
That made me change my lifestyle. I set a direction in life, which is toward independence. That allowed me not to do things in the direction of dependency. In other words, I began to wait instead of starting with anything I could do.
If we invest in something, we will see the importance of waiting. So far, it has given me the biggest profit efficiency I have ever had, even though it is a super-long-term investment. Waiting was far more profitable than I expected. It includes having a good mental state.
Conclusion
That is my new lifestyle that gives me a peaceful life.
Deciding our direction in life will give us the calmness to wait and proceed.
Such a lifestyle might be an option for someone like me.
