ELD 55: We define our own Success

Tuesday August 20 2024

If you're like me, then the idea of social control and being told what to do doesn't sit well with you. Thinking of this in relationship to our goals and life aspirations.

The new car, house, festival, phone, watch, clothes... the never ending list to keep us stuck.

I'm currently reading the book "Flow" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, here's his explanation:

"...emancipating oneself from social controls is the ability to find rewards in the events of each moment... in the ongoing stream of experience, in the process of living itself."

We either succumb to the social pear-pressure looming over us.

Or we define our own goals and rewards, we determine what success is in our own life.

Only then can we not be controlled.

We have a beautiful way of organising ourselves in relationship to what we aim towards.

What if we aimed at a good day. Wouldn't that make a good life?

Lets live,

Much love.
