I decided to reply after reading Eugene’s self-discovery. Agree with you not 100%, but all 200%.
I’m 60, and i must tell you, that this is what i recently discovered too ;-)
I realized that i’m not going to change the world.
All the crap around us, like politics, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, …all these monsters who out to grab your attention for their only greedy interests.
They all do that with lies, fake stories, made up stories, “breaking news”…
Every stupid little story CNN calls “breaking news”…
99% of everything they report is murders, politics, …almost everything is negative.
Total waste of time and it affects our brains, we become like zombies. Because it’s brainwashing.
Same with radio. Why should we listen to the useless talk shows ? Again, all what it is somebody else’s opinions. Should we know other people’s opinions?
I should care less.
Music?…this is my favorite subject..I’m smiling now..
I don’t know, but I don’t see in today’s so called “music” no creativity, no talents, no music, no melody, no..no..no..no..
Why is it, that the most memorable beautiful music was created in the 50,60,70 ?
And the best music was created by Baby Boomers – it’s the Best of the Best, mid-60 to mid 70s.
This music is still alive today, used in many TV shows and movies, commercials.
Music created by PinkFloyd, Who, LedZeppelin, Monkeys, Mamas and the Papas…. hundreds of bands and hundreds of legendary unforgetable tunes.
When I walk into Walmart or any other store, the music that is played is just noise, it’s not something that causes you to relax…complete opposite – annoying, very annoying and sometimes I buy my stuuf by running, just escape from the so called “music”.
what do you think about this, children ? ;-)
If you compare say, something like “Shine on you Crazy Diamond” by PinkFloyd(have anybody ever heard it ?) with today’s “music”..? ;-)
Right, it’s not only incomparable, but nobody would ever do that. I think the “musicians” realize that they are far far from being even close to the level of pinkFloyd or any other band from 60s-70s.
So, what I’m saying is, try to listen to a music from 50-70s. It’s relaxing, a real joy and makes you happy, gives you a good mood. example is Mamas and the Papas with MondayMonday…etc.
It’s getting too long…
I’ll cut here..forget everything you do not need!
FOCUS on what you really really LIKE and need to do.
Don’t waste your time listening to this “music”. It’s like a poison, destroys all your hidden senses.
Listen to the real music, classical music, jazz, classic rock, classic pop, country.
Read books, fiction, non fiction, magazines.
Focus. Focus. Focus.
The time is sliding away, and your life too.
Make decisions fast.
if you hate cold, move down to the south. Don’t wait.
Remember, if you live in a real winter zone, like North East, you’ll be wasting almost half of your life in COLD!
That’s Right: November – March is FIVE MONTHS.
Next 20 years you’re facing to waste around 9 years in total cold. So, think again about it.
Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana… this is where people enjoy life much more. They have more time and more sunshine. Think about it.
that’s it. Thank you for listening.

And thanks for the comments, guys!

I simply ignore these emails and always promote that face-to-face or voice-to-voice interraction wherever possible. This way I cut down a large chunk of my email, people know that i don’t respond to those unnecessary emails, if there’re something so important, they just come and talk now.

Leo’s guest post on a “celebrity” blog like Ferriss’s is another indicator of ZenHabit’s tremendous growth. Very inspiring.
