A crash course in changing the world.
10 years from today
Fair enough.
For some reason I've wanted to review what may be the main points of a book on goal-free living:
The direction I point myself to and hope to be in in 10 years is:
and as to what that has to do with a food crisis in Tokyo and how I might help with such a thing. . . not really sure.
For some reason I've wanted to review what may be the main points of a book on goal-free living:
- Use a compass, not a map—have a sense of direction, and then let yourself wander and try new things on the way to fulfilling your
aspirations - Trust that you are never lost—every seemingly wrong turn is an opportunity to learn and experience new things
- Remember that opportunity knocks often, but sometimes softly—while blindly pursuing our goals, we often miss unexpected and wonderful
possibilities - Want what you have—measure your life by your own yardstick and appreciate who you are, what you do, and what you have . . . now
- Seek out adventure
- Become a people magnet—constantly seek, build, and nurture relationships with new people so that you always have the support and
camaraderie of others - Embrace your limits
- Remain detached—focus on the present, act with a commitment to the future, and avoid worrying about how things will turn out
The direction I point myself to and hope to be in in 10 years is:
- continued and improved health & joy at being in the body
- continued and improved sense that I am doing meaningful work and play--the sense that my time here is contributing to others' lives in some way. . .
- continued sense of adventure, wonder, and amazement--looking back on the week, month, year, decade, I am amazed at what has happened in such a short time. . . At the same time. . . I am a bit skeptical of continually seeking novelty. Some growth may involve being able to make finer distinctions and to appreciate finer details about a situation which previously may have appeared to me stagnant and unchanging.
- continued and improved feelings of love, for life, self, others.
and as to what that has to do with a food crisis in Tokyo and how I might help with such a thing. . . not really sure.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
