It does seem like if you become content you stop pursuing more in life. Is that an ideal end goal or a trap? |

I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc. |
| Noam Chomsky |
Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It's a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can't get out of it. If a business, say, gets in too much debt, it can declare bankruptcy, but individuals can almost never be relieved of student debt through bankruptcy. |
| William Arthur Ward |
The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become. |
| Nick D'Aloisio |
There is a generation of skimmers. It's not that they don't want to read in-depth content, but they want to evaluate what the content is before they commit time. Especially on a mobile phone - you don't have the phone, or cellular data, or screen size to be reading full-length content. |
| Mary Kay Ash |
We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared. |
| Diane Mott Davidson |
The thing is, if you make best-sellerdom your goal, you're going to be in trouble. It's a very nice thing to have happen, but if one makes that a goal like, say, a literary writer has the goal of getting the Pulitzer Prize, that's so unpredictable. |
| Henri Nouwen |
Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking. |
| Henry Rollins |
I spend several days at a time without enough sleep. At first, normal activities become annoying. When you are too tired to eat, you really need some sleep. A few days later, things become strange. Loud noises become louder and more startling, familiar sounds become unfamiliar, and life reinvents itself as a surrealist dream. |
| James A. Baldwin |
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. |
| Bob Marley |
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can. |

I had a dream that Jerry from Rick and Morty was a giant monster and he was attacking me and I was running around this building and trying to kill him with a bow and arrow. My friend kept saying "hey are you ready to leave" like it was a videogame that she wanted me to stop playing but it wasn't. It felt like real life and like I was fighting for my life. Super weird.

My goal in life is to have people sigh any time I talk, just the reason for it is different for different people.

But then if not pursuing success makes you unhappy I guess then there is a problem.

I was recently thinking about aging. It's been my opinion for a while that we should just accept that we are going to grow old and die and that we have to get over it. I have now heard the argument, however, that the things that happen to us while we age are not unlike the things that happen to us when we get diseases and die. They went on to say that we should treat them the same and we should work on curing aging. This isn't to say that we should live forever, but that the flaws in the mechanisms that replicate our cells could be fixed or assisted and that we could live for a much longer time. I think it's interesting to think about and I agree that it is worth pursuing. Imagine if the life expectancy doubled. What great things could people accomplish if they had more time?

This is why I think the only point is artistry. Once you understand there is no concrete self then pursuing ego validation is meaningless. Why not just meditate in bliss forever until you die? Because we like to express our awe.

Once inner silence is attained, everything
is possible. The way to stop talking
to ourselves is to use exactly the same
method used to teach us to talk to
ourselves; we were taught compulsively
and unwaveringly, and this is the
way we must stop it: compulsively and
unwaveringly.

"Slow and steady" does not win the race. Fast and steady wins the race....But even though "slow and steady" is terrible racing advice, its terrific advice for almost any other endeavor or goal. Life is not a race. You've got time to live at your own pace.
