By Many believe the practice of money-based religion is more of an oxymoron. It is not. It is a form of self-awareness. We have to keep our minds open to our own self-awareness. The more our minds can see ourselves as the sum of our thoughts and actions more effectively we can learn to see and accept ourselves as a complex, interdependent organism.
Our own mind is a bit like a bank in that it’s like a bank with two banks. Our brain is like an ATM in a bank. We will always need money, and we can’t just run away to avoid it. We all have it. We just have to trust ourselves to know it.
If we don’t trust ourselves to know it, then who will? We’ve been taught that we can’t make mistakes, so we have to trust ourselves to know what we are doing. It’s really not that difficult.
If we are constantly looking at ourselves from the outside, looking at our own behavior and how we are making decisions, we will never be able to trust ourselves to know ourselves.
Trust in ourselves to know what we are doing. Trusting ourselves to know what we are doing is like trusting that we know the weather.
The world is pretty crazy, but not everyone can handle it. We want to know what we are doing so we can make it easier for ourselves.
This is one of the biggest reasons why we feel so anxious about starting a new job. We want to trust that we know how to do our job, but in truth, we don’t even know what we are doing. We start by trusting that we know what we are doing, then we are on our own. That’s why I prefer the idea of the first-time-at-work experience.
A lot of people are afraid to get into a new job because they have so much experience they are afraid to change anything. The fact is, it takes a lot of trust to change anything. When you are afraid of the unknown, you are more likely to change a little bit each time, which is actually beneficial. In fact, if you are afraid of the unknown, your life will be more predictable.
So my first tip for not letting fears of change stop you is not to get a job at a job you dislike. If I ever have to take a job at a new place, I am going to need to take a big risk and go through the whole “mechanical skills training” process. Otherwise, I just won’t be a good hire. You just have to do your research, then do it.
If you are not afraid of the world, then you can be more proactive with it. The idea that we are all going to die is not likely to happen to you so why not take the chance to do something constructive with your life. Take a hobby, or get a hobby. Don’t just hang around. If your hobby is music, then the best music is not what you think it is.
