At a time where I'm making profound change in my life I keep having to search for what works best for me, which in of itself constantly changes. This is helpful and I am making steps toward a much more aggregated "we centered" universe. very well written, thank you.

The alternate reality section really resonated with a quote I used to say to myself in the past. I can't remember it exactly or who it was by (anyone knows feel free to let me know) it says in order to achieve something you have to believe it is possible. I realised I was trying to achieve things that I believed weren't even possible which of course lead to a lot of heartache and frustration and wasted time so I concentrated on my beliefs and good changes happened. I think I got out of this habit though. Thank you for reminding me and explaining it so quickly and clearly. Sarah. Hey,

Living in a me-centered universe filled with mental models is like living in a Matrix. You're absorbed in pre-determined rules, and when they aren't fulfilled (often), you're not happy. People should be this way! The best type of weather is this kind! Well, people are diverse, and they'll live how they live despite what you'd want them to do. And no one has come up with a way to control weather... yet. So then what? Are you going to get upset every time people live differently, or the weather isn't how you want it to be? You're going to be upset quite often. By giving up control of those things (eliminating mental models), you roll with the punches. Whatever life throws at you, you find a way to work with it. Rather than expecting the world to cater to you, you exist in the world itself, whatever form it might be on a given day. You stop expecting, and start experiencing. Any type of person or weather can become great, and you can't get upset about them not fitting in a mental model, since you don't have them anymore. You live life to the fullest, filled to the brim with happiness. Great article about breaking out of the Matrix and really living life, Oleg Hey Tina,

Live in the now and you can enjoy life to its fullest potential.

Living in a me-centered universe filled with mental models is like living in a Matrix. You’re absorbed in pre-determined rules, and when they aren’t fulfilled (often), you’re not happy.

People should be this way! The best type of weather is this kind! Well, people are diverse, and they’ll live how they live despite what you’d want them to do. And no one has come up with a way to control weather… yet.

So then what? Are you going to get upset every time people live differently, or the weather isn’t how you want it to be? You’re going to be upset quite often.

By giving up control of those things (eliminating mental models), you roll with the punches. Whatever life throws at you, you find a way to work with it. Rather than expecting the world to cater to you, you exist in the world itself, whatever form it might be on a given day.

You stop expecting, and start experiencing. Any type of person or weather can become great, and you can’t get upset about them not fitting in a mental model, since you don’t have them anymore.

You live life to the fullest, filled to the brim with happiness.

Great article about breaking out of the Matrix and really living life,
Oleg

The economy is forcing us to change the way we look, eat, sleep or maybe survive. Thanks for your thought provoking article. I think change is almost everywhere now.
