For me, it is catching up with the technical stuff. I know it’s simply a matter of getting in and figuring things out.

“What would you suggest the average lifestyle designer do?”

I guess I’ve been taking serious steps towards designing my life since 2007 (4hww) and i’ve found having an open approach to life is kind of helpful. This approach can be cultivated and in my experience, if you choose to walk this path (lifestyle design), it will serve you well. .-= Mike Siete Cinco´s last blog ..My “Current” Life Purpose and How it Can Support YOU =-.

B) “The average college student in the United States is typically studying whatever it is they are studying for at least one of two reasons. Either they are studying because they were expected to or because whatever they are studying provides a high salary. Very few people are learning for the sake of learning. Even fewer have any idea what it is they’d even want to learn.”

This depresses the hell out of me! Instead of aligning ourselves with what it is that we want, we align ourselves with what it is we think we want based on some plastic, manufactured to-do list that society says we want. And, as you’ve said, we don’t even know what we would want for ourselves. In this respect, while the U.S., for example, is suppose to be a country with some of the world’s most liberated people, I’d be inclined to say that we are, in some sense, some of the world’s most enslaved people. Not to others, but to ourselves and to an ideal that isn’t even an ideal worth it to begin with. But the kicker? No one even recognizes it.

GRRRRRRRR.

Great post, man. .-= Ash´s last blog ..If You’re Wrinkly, It Better Have Been Worth It: A Stern Talking To My 90 Year Old Self =-.

I can’t put enough emphasis on doing something. Anything. Even the wrong thing. If it’s the wrong thing, at least you’ll have a better idea about what it is you don’t want to do.
