Short checklist for living

1. Define a consistent reality that you can accept
2. Cut away all ties that hinder you from living your reality
3. Live and constantly reevaluate your definition as well as your ties to others

I like point 1. Methinks it's the point everything boils down to. Which makes it difficult.

The difficulty really lies in living your truth with other people. No matter what truth you choose there will be people out there who wants to change it. So point two is about living on a mountain, as old wise men did. And point three is about not stagnating, as most good faiths have done.

But isn´t point two and three incorrigible? If one simply cuts away the ties that limit your reality, how can you evaluate them and allow them influence you (if you so choose)?

I really like this idea, but I agree with nefandus, would really like to hear your answer.

the answer is: No, they are not.

I said "cut away all that hinders you from living your reality" not to cut away all that contrasts with it. Is it not possible to create a reality were you can live with people disagreeing with you?

Problems would then arise if you travel to a place were you are not allowed to disagree.

My earlier description might seem a bit faulty but it was worded like that to paint with words.

2. Make arrangements so that you may live your reality.
