Sitting With Yourself
This is a quote that I heard Naval Ravikant speak several times.
Personally I know this is right. For me. Focused on just me. Not mapping this to the rest of the world, because I don’t know how they are feeling, I can only speculate.
I have spent a lot of my near 47 years on this planet alone. Movies, concerts, playing as a child, traveling, and even much of my time around my family. Alone either physically or in my own head removed from them.
But in a room. Quietly. Alone? Not so much.
What are my problems? This is not an open therapy session to the world.
But I can tell you that the noise I have adapted to has not helped me.
The things and the voices of others that I have permitted to permeate. Have not delivered much value. My own thoughts often have not either.
