The theme of the year
- Retirement from finance
- Moved out of the big city
- Start teaching skills
In fact, since last year, I have gradually realized that I already have what I want: health, freedom, time to learn and do whatever I want.
Here’s some gossip: I found out that Asian genes are really good; I found out that there hasn’t been much change since I was 20 years old, but I bumped into someone I met a few years ago: wow, how come so many things have changed; most Europeans and Americans really start watching when they are in their 30s No more, especially in Eastern Europe.
Quoting from 2021 , I actually feel that I am getting younger as I live.
It’s the highlight of the year
- Met a low-key old Bitcoiner
I can honestly say that Bitcoin has completely changed me, but it is more the Bitcoin people I met during the study process that have influenced me and made me re-examine my life:
- The experience of going out without your mobile phone
In April, I accidentally met a 65-year-old interesting person while walking: he speaks fluent English, has a sharp mind, and loves to share. The most interesting thing is that he does not have a mobile phone or a number, but he is very healthy and walks faster than me.
To make an appointment with him, you only need to tell him the time and place directly, which is super simple. In contrast, we are used to talking back and forth on various software. Sometimes excessive convenience does not mean increased efficiency . So, I gradually boldly experienced what it was like to go out without a mobile phone. , an indescribable sense of freedom.
- Moved out of the big city
In May, I moved to a place where almost no English is spoken and there are no foreign tourists. It is comfortable and peaceful, and my skin has improved a lot. Now I am basically surrounded by nature, food, art and music. The only thing I am missing is perhaps the ability to have the same intelligence. The soul of video, but I later found a solution for this: the Internet.
- Retired from finance and started teaching skills
Sometimes when you see a situation clearly, you can’t pretend you haven’t seen it; life has been much happier after retiring from the so-called financial circle, and I no longer restrain my integrity because of interests; I have also returned to the original intention of sharing. What I really like is exploring and sharing. .
Around June, I started hacktheskills to teach skills, and gradually found that this was a way that I enjoyed more.
- Watch the coming of new life
In July, a good friend gave birth to a baby. This was the first time I witnessed the process from pregnancy to birth. I thought it was incredible. Our bodies are so amazing . In the past few years, I have been to many places and looked at it. There are a lot of things, but what continues to amaze me is within.
- Other explorations
I started learning calligraphy, taking music lessons, making handmade paper, making notebooks, studying how to design my own clothes, and working with craftsmen to design what I wanted, etc. It was indescribable fun.
Learned this year
- Democracy or communism are essentially the same; if you truly want freedom, you want to be left alone.
When I was younger, I used to think the West could offer a better quality of life or even more freedom, but then it turned out it was only marketing.
Always verify things yourself – I now prefer living in places with less modernization, everything is more REAL.
- Big cities are scams.
Leaving a big city was one of the best decisions I made this year. On the surface, a so-called big city has many choices and is very convenient, but in fact, it is full of air pollution, noise, traffic jams, high real estate prices, indifference between people, and high prices. But low quality food etc. However most people like to rush to big cities.
- The source of all diseases comes from the negative emotions accumulated in the heart
Modern medicine indicators do not cure the root cause. A better way to cure it is to avoid taking medicine and see a doctor, match your diet, learn to listen to your body and find out the source of inner emotions.
- True freedom is actually taking responsibility for oneself
Most people who say they want freedom are actually narcissistic. People who lack action will never gain freedom in their lives.
——————
2023 is the year of the biggest change for me. I have become clearer about what I want, and gradually said goodbye to unwanted interference. Next, I will do something that challenges myself more.
