Congratulations! What was your framework for prioritizing which changes to tacke first, and implementing these changes?
Thanks! Honestly, I just realized that life is short and most people go to their death beds without realizing their full potential because they are occupied with social concerns. Many people drop the quality of their life by living an unhealthy lifestyle that is disconnected from nature. This all really set in for me after my grandmother, who I was very close to, passed away in December after having a stroke in Novem…
When those you love are gone, the emptiness is so obvious. Even though the trauma and grief gradually heal, any sense of purpose seems like an empty, made up story. You know you'll die at some point too, everything you do will be undone, and the world probably isn't real anyway. Why even live?

The one thing that seems to give things I do value, is when others value them. I'm never sure if that's because they see something I don't, or if they are deeper into self-made illusions.
I don't mean trivia like clothes, status, social media. I mean things others really value, like time together, listening, caring, assisting, relief from poverty, their health, happy times, friendship, that sort of thing.
So from that point of view, I think social concerns of a certain variety are to be prized. Maybe they are the only thing that has meaning.
