The accepted narrative in 2022 is that your world is global, unified, and homogeneous; BUT, increasingly the opposite is true. The truth is your world is fragmenting and each fragment is moving too fast for your current global narrative to make good sense of what is happening around you. You are running an antiquated version of brain/mind software. In effect your brain/mind software is full of White Noise [see photo].
If you are to meet the challenges of this fragmenting world; you must eliminate this white noise. However this is not an easy task. And it is not a task that you can expect to complete in anything less than one to five years. Yes... I did say one to five years. The task you must complete is simple but it requires discipline levels that stretch most humans. In plain english you must rid the content you use daily of all the white noise that has built-up each year since your fifth birthday. Remember when you were just five years old how little you cared about what other people said or did unless it meant that you got a free ice cream. Today you care way too much about what other people say and do and perhaps that why you have no idea how to get a free ice cream. Indeed the situation is worse because you do not even know if you would truly enjoy receiving a free ice-cream.
How can you shed this white noise from your life? Well the answer to that question is also simple yet most of you will never do it. The answer is to put your life into context. For example provide yourself with a clear and present answer to the following questions. What is the true context of your love life? What is the true context of your work life? What is the true context of your familial life? What is the true context of your ....... life?
I invented minimal-you to bring context to my life. It has three elements to it: thoughts, habits, and beliefs. In simple terms I work hard to discipline my thoughts in ways that inform my habits and aligned them with my beliefs. For example I believe in quality. So when it comes to my love life I seek quality of love, care, trust, and acceptance. Here is the rub for me. I have never ever been good at this aspect of my life so I must continue to work diligently on all aspects of my love life. As a five year old I am sure that I excelled at most aspects of my love life.... ha, ha, ha. Today I give myself a grade of four out of ten. If I am to improve that score I must discipline my thoughts and habits.
Here is the good news about that score of four out of ten. My love life is not full of white noise which means it is robust in the face of our fragmenting world.
