As a human, what is actually needed for a good life?Safety from the elements, avoiding starvation, preventing attacks against us by others, being in social groups, work, sleep, play, and time for our selves.If that’s all that’s required - perhaps we stress for the wrong things? Do any of the below create a threat to our ability to seek safety from elements, avoid starvation, prevent attack, exist in a social group, etc? Wasting time;A long line at the grocery store;The person with the ultra-and-obnoxiously long Starbucks order;Drivers trying to pass you on the freeway;Family members that drive you nuts;That guy who won’t let the issue go;Bosses who are not effective communicators; and/orClients that suck.I’m going to try asking myself and my team these questions next time I (or they) get annoyed/stressed. Consider trying it for yourself. The good and simple life is well within our grasp - what keeps you from deciding to live it?
