My goal is a simple one: to just enjoy the life I have. I don't care about leaving behind a legacy, bettering the world, or becoming mind-bogglingly rich. But I do care that I never wake up in the morning and think "why am I doing this?"

More concretely I'm working towards FIRE and would like to get a dog. After that, who knows? I'll decide when I get there.

“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.” ― Bob Dylan I aspire to this and to help others do the same.

Reminds me a bit of:

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

― Albert Camus

To become one with God, through his commandments, mostly by loving, clothing, and feeding my neighbor. However, my performance is woefully inadequate. Luckily, my God is a loving God, and has me on a PIP, so hopefully we see some good progress with the time I have left.

A Pain In the Posterior?

Aren't all gods?

Good! For me it is working on stuff, that others seem too think is too hard, that make a difference. The last few years it is about improved food production systems. Tight nutrient loops with better food, in every aspect, as the end result. It seems to be working too.

As a trans person, I've spent most of my life wandering, evading some kind of self-loneliness. But in the last two years I've started comprehending that is not only about the way we spend our time, but also how we use our body-mind credit too. Living as much about the present as it is about the future. So it is important to understand that overworking today may impact your mental health tomorrow.

With this in mind, the one thing for me is peace of mind. I want to have a nice live and enjoy the world around me in a healthy way. Giving my best to ensure that it not only does apply to me, but apply to people around me.

I really do not care if this means improving a banking system do deliver better prices to clients, cooking or teaching people. If I can excel and do some good, it is valid.
