What you DON'T want

Come back tomorrow for a new post!

We always think about the life we want, but what about the life we DON’T want?

The life we are avoiding to live.

I’m sure you can already guess what I’m referring to but just to make it clear. I’m talking about the life actual people out there live but you really don’t want to live like they do.

The most classical example probably for ALL kids is working in an office in front of a computer all day. Seems boooooring. But many people do live like that as that’s their work.


I want you to imagine the opposite of the ideal life for you. Maybe still living with your parents at an older age, maybe living alone without a partner, maybe even university. No friends, fake friends, sitting on the couch all day, too much work, there are tons of things you wouldn’t want to have in your life. Maybe sitting on the couch is a perfect lifestyle for you, for many others it would be a nightmare. 

Sometimes it’s really hard to even know what you actually want, but to determine what you DON’T want is way way easier, not sure why it just is. 

Determining what you don’t wish for your life at least makes it easier to know in which direction you should travel. If you don’t want to live with a high weight you have to do sports, if you don’t want to live in university then you should pursue something else, makes sense what I mean? 

Like it’s not always obvious to you you want to be fit, you just don’t want to be overweight and that’s why you do what you do. 

This also applies to personalities. If you don’t want to live as someone shy then you should try to be more confident. Maybe you weren’t even bothered before you were shy, but when you think about what you don’t want to be, it gets clearer.

I believe maybe it is even a greater motivator than “I want it”, because if you don’t do anything to prevent living the life you’re really afraid of living then you might just end up there.

Seriously, I just thought of this way of thinking today and it seems really efficient.

It doesn’t always give necessarily the answer to what you should actually do, like for me for example, I don’t know where I want to live and build my home, but I know it’s not in Brazil where I currently am.

I hope this text resonated with you and helps you get to where it’s best for you.

 Today's post is brought by: Anonymous Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com Everyone changes  Growth in your bones  Understanding life takes time  To blossom in flowers  Your flower is your development Having to learn a lesson  To change who you are  Wanting something so bad  But knowing that it will take time  To find that love one  God knows your story  So try to live up every moment  You know everyone loves you You need to love yourself  Let yourself change  Become someone who is better  Than the previous one  Understand life is one step closer  So don’t like anything stop  From becoming a flower of your former self  Bloom into something else  Entirely. Note from H. Tayrone: I don't write poems but that looks like something I myself would write! See you tomorrow with something new! Cool infos from the sid...

Pieces from the past

 Today's post is brought by: mayi – Medium Go check more of their work and come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com We haven’t spoken since that last time, which is honestly impressive considering how committed the universe has been to arranging near-misses. We grew up together, knew the same people, lived in the same circles, and even after ending up hundreds of miles apart, there’s always someone who knows you, knows me, or knows someone who knows both of us. At this point, I’m starting to suspect we’re just poorly written recurring characters. I have my own life now and so do you. There are new people, new routines, new problems, and presumably better things to think about. There is absolutely no practical reason for either of us to be thinking about the other. Which is why, every once in a while, I consider deleting that playlist. You know the one. The playlist I made entirely of songs you int...

Don't overcomplicate

Today's post is brought by: H. Tayrone Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com I had a realization these days and it genuinely made my work and many other aspects of my life easier. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as they seem. Perhaps you had that feeling too before. I noticed that if I stop thinking of things as a really complicated puzzle I manage to make more progress. Seriously, for so long I asked myself what people do that I’m not doing.  Why do some things just come to people so easily when it is so "complicated" to get the thing? These “things” tend to be building projects, behaving certain ways, or just achieving something. And I believe for the longest time I over complicated all that. Everything had to be thought out for it to work to the point I felt like there was something wrong with me because I was trying so hard to make it work and other people didn’t seem to try an...
