I'm 50 years old, no material possesion, except furniture, nice one, in my apartment...but I saw a lot of place in the world ( all Europe, some USA, South America, some Asian country)... I have no debt at all, lot of money for retirement, and some fuck you money...and I seem more relax than most people at my job
How did you do that ? Did you inherit the money or make it yourself ? Which job are you in ? These are genuine questions, I am curious to know. Please reply, as the answers might help me.
Navil is such an isnpriation to me! I implement so much of his advice into my personal life as well as the content I create. Happiness is peace in motion.
The trick is to work for things that appreciate in value, like land and value and not depreciate like and don’t ever put yourself in a position where one layoff will cause you bankruptcy, and to lose everything
This channel is very smart. Kudos to channel owners. Your making story’s from great speakers and turning it into a format that is thought provoking … subscribed
The idea of everyone should be able to do what he or she loves for a living is a trap in itself. There are things in this world that nobody would enjoy doing but had to be done, and most of these things are essential for the society to function. Think about this for a moment, then the real truth about life starts to unfold.
Agree. But if someone tries to get out of that then it is totally possible. And now a person with no desire and no efforts/hardwork to change his life will be stuck in that job. So at the end, there still will be plenty of people remaining to do those jobs that you are talking about.
"There are things in this world that nobody would enjoy doing but had to be done." Is this actually true? We can't possibly know what the preference of each human in the world can we? And these essential things you speak of... are they truly necessary? If we didn't have garbage collectors, maybe we would be more mindful of our things as a society and hence wouldn't "need" garbage collectors. The "real truth of life" is that it is just a series of problems. How will I shelter, feed, water myself and my family? As we satisfy these basic needs, then we need to figure out what to do with our excrement. Urine actually makes a great fertilizer so water the garden with it. Feces is also good as fertilizer so chuck it in the compost pile. But no, society decided it's better to use our water supply to transport it to sewage facilities to be "taken care of." This is because historically we are conditioned to pass on our shit for other people to deal with. That's where the problem solvers come in. The farmers, skilled trades, and engineers to name a few. The ones I know love what they do. Now imagine a world where every one is a problem solver.

I was a friend of a kid growing up that lived in a moderate home like us. His father went on to invent the first ATM machines and software. He became one of the first billionaires in the US. At Christmas, he gave his son $1,000 each year and that was it. He said "Free money is poison". You see that with lotto winners.
I have an Army Pension and actually retired at 41. I was seen as a lazy bum for not going to work after retirement, as I was so young. They did not tell me this, but that was the jist. To me, after 20+ years as a Soldier... I simply felt that I had crossed the finish line for me, I had bought ALL of my Future time from the Debt God of Life. I trade stocks as a hobby and it is a profitable hobby that I live off of it, at times. I hit my yearly target of 80% in 4 months and then took four months off. People still don't get it, they say, why aren't you a millionaire, if you are so good. I tell them, that does not motive me, I hit my goals, spend the money on what I want and with others, and then just chill, until I feel motivated to earn some more for a specific reason. I simply can not spend my valuable azz time, to get money that I will not use.
Good content, reading/listening naval makes me want to do his meditation practice, I already have my own practice, but he seems so much more wisdom person.
This is still coming from a guy whose tagline on twitter up until recently was "I block miserable people". Follows no one and exhibits clearly narcissistic traits (which anyone that truly knows this guy knows what a narcissist he is). But at least the advice given here is good even though he is a toxic person.
I think the biggest trap of life is confirming to societal norms ( specially before you know , if its even true ). like marriage / dating... wishful thinking ... more people have lost their productive life doing these than actual meaningful work !
I mean food is kinda necessary don’t you think?! A 40 hour week in America still leaves you deciding between food or rent. You definitely pay rent but you should probably skip a meal or too.
Working towards fixing my motorcycle as a reward instead of selling it and saving is a great idea Whoever disagrees obviously doesn’t own a motorcycle !
Remember yall, these mindsets don't happen over night. You built your thought habits for 20+ years. Old habits die hard. These take real effort to adapt.
A lot of interesting philosophy for setting your sights higher. But I can never respect someone who says "working for material goods is a trap" in this way because it's literally the thing we're required to do. It's not like you decided to be materialistic. The masters of this world tried to predestine your life that way. The context is required, and that context is that it's usually the people who benefit from your conditioning who are calling you stupid for being conditioned.
Best thing for me since start of earning money is that I pay myself first. Investing and have paidoff house in 3-5 years will be around 42. Brings me and my family way more flexibility and security. Life is good.
1. working for thing as reward is a trap that people fall into the interesting thing that you have done is it is all go to be around the sarcrifesthat you've made and hard thibgs that you did
you can think "I am who I am" "This world is mine but be careful if you do everything your way, everyone will leave you. try to make your happy world without any harm" "I can do it because I can do it's just matter of time" "my mind is mine, your mind is yours" so, let it be, don't mind other's mind. live your life in 1st person omniscient point of view. I mean live "your" life or "make" your life.
I'd say a greater trap is the self-delusion trap. A cocktail of fantasy and wishful thinking that stops people from appreciating how wonderful reality can be.
Some weeks (this one) feel like every waking moment is means to end. It is unavoidable this week, truthfully. This video helped bring me back to center, thank you.
While it makes sense my main issue is that all these kapil, charlie and more are genius so maybe thats the differentiator they started from nkthing but they are also the minority genius...

Naval Ravikant had a younger brother called Airborne Ravikant
@BogalaSawundiris where can I find his work???
Life is a single player game. It's all going on in your head. It is your mind that creates the world. So good
Bernardo Kastrup says, it's not your mind that it's all going on in, but the mind of God and you are a dissociated identity of God.
The all is mind, everything is mental
Wise words my friend
Indeed
So you only have friends in your head?
The hard things can be fun. The difference between adventure and suffering is attitude.
i don't really need to watch all the content all day long, just back to watch this one again and again, save time and energy, Thanks.
