I’ve seen people chase their bliss by getting the right this or that, by doing XYZ tasks at ABC times.

Call me lazy, but I have found that the opposite approach is much more accessible and far less stressful (although in the short term, it’s incredibly uncomfortable):  I try and dig into my faults/shortcomings, reconfigure them, and arrange the components of my own perception so that I can make use of what’s right in front of me.  That has seemed far more conducive to “flow” than trying to constantly grapple with the environment.

Basically, I prefer to wrench my perception into harmony with the environment rather than try and force the environment into line with my perception.

    I’d never heard of your novel Echo, or Doug Casey before I read your post.

    Agreed.
    The Environment is bigger than us. Wiser to work with it and go with its tides.

  3. Sounding like a hippy. And that’s a good thing.

    1. Haha! I actually try to avoid “the Hippie’s dilemma” as I’ve coined it by achieving functional balance, but I see how this post could be hippie-ish.
