This blog was started because I couldn’t hold my frustration and anger with the fact that our life is a sequence of actions, events, and situations that are repeated endlessly until a day comes when the film stops playing. The situation which I found myself in is relatable for a lot of people despite their location or their status. The mere fact that I am writing this makes this day a little different, but if I take a year or two, I see that there was already a day when I was trying to begin writing. Looking at life from far and seeing that it’s pretty boring in its nature made me understand that we are punished with the “unbearable boredom of being”. I didn’t feel that this idea was enough for me, so I dug deeper and formulated a concept about escaping the cycle of boredom through diversification and classification of your actions. You could say I created a life philosophy of my own.

Everything that is written here applies to people who find living without a certain goal or meaning quite boring. You could be busy all day with various activities that entertain you, but you still feel that your life is boring because you are not “moving” anywhere. You are simply stuck. I would probably be much happier if I could stuff my head with a generous amount of “quality” memes and get to binge-watch “legendary” shows that never stop coming out. Day after day most of us engage in the same activities. You might think it’s changed because of the new people or opposed surroundings, but it’s the SAME in its true nature.

So, the question is: “How to make it DIFFERENT?”

The answer I came up with is: “Diversify the nature of your deeds and consider the output that your actions produce.”

By diversifying your deeds, you give yourself a chance to find out what you are passionate about and when you consider the output, you understand how you can make an impact. I think life becomes exciting, full, and most of all meaningful when you realize that you are committing something to the soul/knowledge of the whole humanity(monetary contributions aren’t worthless, but they not as valued.) My hypothesis is that you truly enjoy life when you add your little part to the evolution. I remember that I picked up this idea from Ray Dalio as he states that “the purpose of everything is to evolve and contribute to evolution in some small way”(Dalio, 2017).

Building a company with an innovative and embracing vision, writing a book to convey your inferences, making music that empowers people, saving lives on an every-day basis, or teaching others are all examples of actions that make up the little part that you can contribute to the evolution. There are thousands more examples, but the fact is that all of them have to have an output on both personal and social level. You step on the right path once all of your actions produce either zero or positive output.

I want to say that this blog was created with an intention of an individual to share a philosophy that he follows, discuss all kinds of themes related to everyday life, share his opinions and read the opinions of others, recommend literature and activities that can lead you onto the path to output and most importantly gather like-minded people in one place.
