What came first the chicken or the egg? Our Economy, Happiness, Love, Health!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, and the thought of what came first, the chicken or the egg… this circular pattern, could quite possibly drive you insane!

 

In our economy we could say that the fear of a recession could cause people to spend less, which would reduce demand, which causes a recession. 

 

In our pursuit of happiness we could say that if I only had this or that I would be happy, but since I do not have this or that, I am not happy.

 

In our quest for loving relationships we may tend to date the same type of person, make the same mistakes, and have the same result.

 

In health we all know people who sit and complain all the time about how unhealthy and overweight they are, all the while they are still sitting and complaining and not doing anything towards getting healthier.

 

I am sure these are all things that you have heard or thought of before, and breaking these cycles is easier said than done.  My thought here is this… what if we all came from the place or thought process that we already have everything that we need.   That the chicken and the egg just existed at the same time.  That we can be happy without those things, and we can be healthier right now!  We do not have to get it, we just have to be it! Be happier, be healthier, be loving right now! In every moment and in every choice, or conversation, or thought!

Goldilocks, Lagom, the Economy, Life and Opportunity! Part 2 – Goldi’s Way!

I believe that in the economic climate that we are in that there is no better time than the present to make the shift of having our perfect life, and helping to create a perfect world.  In an earlier blog I talked about the three men who recently created Bump Technologies, and how that was not anything that I could, or would want to create. Technology is not my passion. It is however exactly what they wanted to create and they did just that!  They might also like Harley Davidson motorcycles… They are a great, great, motorcycle manufacturer, but I have no desire to own one.  I however love good quality handcrafted furniture and I love to just admire the beauty of certain pieces.   My point is that we should all follow our own dreams and not be afraid to have we want, and not be afraid to try to accomplish what we want, and not be afraid to be great at what we do!  We should also be aware of not having or desiring those things that we do not really want, just because our neighbor has them.  If we all took this approach, then we would have less but whatever we had would be of the highest quality.  We would all be living at our highest level and we would have, in our own opinion, the best art, the best furniture, and the best new technology that we desire. Again, we want different things so every area of interest would continue to grow.  We would live happier enjoying what we did, and would have more time to do the things that we wanted.  No longer would we need to run around in circles trying to do, and have and be things that other people say we should do, and have, and be.  So again lets take the basic principle of Lagom, the idea of the perfect amount of everything, and tweak it a little, and make it into what is just right for us… we will call it Goldi’s way!

Bump Technologies iphone and ipod

3 Men, in a recession, start new company just months ago…Bump Technologies!    This technology is way above my ability to create.  It is also not in line with the life that I am creating of walking in the woods, doing yoga, and writing, but in honor of Earth Day… think of all the paper and time that will be saved by bumping!  My point is however, we all need to create our own perfect life.  What is good for me may not be good for you.  My desires and strengths are not yours, and we (meaning the world) have a need for many things.  If we all choose to follow what we liked and wanted to do, we would all be happier.  We would be more creative in our chosen field, and we would all not choose the same thing. 

What is it that brings you joy?  What does your perfect life look like?

Just a thought…
