What’s important in life?
In my opinion spending time in a way that makes us and others feel good without causing harm is the answer to this question.
Feeling good
Feeling good is something we all want. In fact pretty much everything we do is because we want to feel good.
It’s also easy to know if you do feel good. So, right now, stop the analytical part of your brain and feel. What do you feel? Good? Indifferent? Bad? Think about that for a while.
Without causing harm
Unfortunately, we’re not always so good at understanding when and to whom we’re causing harm. The way I see this is that if you hurt the feelings of others, or do things that negatively impacts our planet, then you’re causing harm.
In order to know if you do cause harm, you need to pay attention to how you interact with the world. Better attention provides deeper insight.
Now, tap into your emotional intelligence. How often to you negatively impact the feelings of others? And how frequently do you do things that harm our planet?
