Don’t have intent.

Learn how to have absolutely no intent in everything you do. Don’t live your life trying to do anything. You simply do without effort, and everything will get done.

Intention of any kind, only prevents you from appreciating what is as you instead strive for what isn’t. We are not here to get what we want. We are here to want what we get. Only by ridding yourself of purpose and reason for activity, can you discover purpose and reason within activity.

I’m not saying you cannot plan or have a greater goal worth pursuing. I’m saying that the only way to get there is here and now. Anything more you can add to your current life must only serve as a bonus to what is already perfect and should not be needed in any way. If you cannot find happiness exactly where you are, then you will inevitably intend in all that you do and you will never truly enjoy anything you have. You will only be sad about what you don’t.

I get what you're saying, but it's also quite delusional to make yourself believe something that you don't actually think is true. It could have positive benefits for you for sure, but it could also make a lot of people even more confused if they went down this route. No one's life is perfect, and things can always be improved to make it better, and just because someone can't find happiness in their situation it doesn't mean they should think that they'll never find happiness.

@MartinTheFirst You may believe I’m delusional and people may be confused by any number of things they read online. That is okay. Perfection is a matter of perspective so many can find their own idea of it. This is true even if things can always be improved. I also would hope that no one thinks they can never find happiness. That would be a terribly sad way to feel about life.

@Reject But perfection is the state of not being able to improve it in any way.

@MartinTheFirst That may be how you see it, and also how it’s often defined, but there is such as thing as perfectly imperfect. As in you find the fact that things can always be improved to be perfect in itself and you wouldn’t ever want to change that aspect of life.

@Reject 😬 that's a lot of mental gymnastics just to be able to say your life is perfect... but I get it

@MartinTheFirst Well I would hope there is no mental obstacle one isn’t willing to navigate to find their own perfect life. 😌
