My favorite quote of a really great book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, begins with the following: “What we don’t know, what we don’t know, we usually live with.” The idea is that what we think we know is often wrong. We often need to trust our instincts, which is why Tolle wrote The Power of Now.
It’s a great quote because in his words, everything we think we know is wrong. For example, the idea that Tolle says we know we should be careful about our possessions, but we do not. But the truth is we should be careful about our possessions, because at some point something bad is going to happen to them. But we don’t even realize it’s happening until it’s too late.
You can understand why a lot of people might think that this quote is a bit too harsh for the situation we’re in. But the reality is that we all need to know that there is a time and a place for everything. We all need to know that we are not in a constant state of emergency.
It’s interesting that the scott quote is in the middle of a rant about the things we are most thankful for. There’s a lot of stuff in this world that we feel a need to take care of, but we don’t really have to worry about doing it. We don’t even have to think about what to do with our stuff because there is a time and a place for everything. We just live in a world that is constantly changing so we don’t have to think about it.
With the advent of digital storage, we no longer have to worry about keeping all of our stuff together. We can just store it online. When you go to your closet and grab a shirt, you dont have to worry about whether the shirt is still in the right box, you just have to grab it.
I still worry about whether I got a shirt that wasn’t the one I wanted, but I have less of a problem with that because I have a closet that is full of them.
That is a great point. All too often we forget how much we actually do have to worry about. Like we have to worry about whether our car is in the right place. We have to worry about whether our shoes are still on the right path. So we can probably all agree that there is a lot of stuff that is important that we are not as responsible about.
It is also important that we remember that we can’t do everything. So while the fact that we’re not doing everything may be a lot of fun, it can also be a lot of pressure. We can start to think that there are things we should be doing, but we’re not. So we need to be better about this.
It’s important to take a moment to recognize that we can’t do everything. We can’t be perfect. We can’t see everything. We can’t do everything in a way that is the best for the long term. And yes, we can be lazy. But laziness can also be a great form of productivity.
So what is the best thing we can do? The best thing we can do is to not be so perfectionist. To not be so rigid in our goals. To accept that we are not perfect. We are human. We are also flawed. If that means we are going to mess up, then so be it. We are better off with the imperfections that come with being who we are.
