I agree with the main point and during this week I’ve been thinking about it, even before reading this text that, BTW, fit like a glove with this moment of reflection.

I believe that we can have a job that isn’t a passion because even playing [insert a sport here], which is a dream for most children, we’ll need to make things we don’t like in a time we don’t want to do so — we’ll need to follow a restricted diet, we’ll need to make cardio… it won’t be only the joy of playing what we love and earning tons of money. But we need to like it most part of the time. Those who wait for the end of the day, that time of resting, or that count the days until the next weekend/vacation, are certainly in a wrong place and will inevitably feel stressed with this lack of balance and, consequently, meaning.

About simplicity, there’s a thin line between it and complexity. Of course, we’re always trying to simplify things: lists of tips on how to improve ourselves, habits that will let us with energy to spend with decisions that really matter, being more minimalist to keep our lives organized and so on. And that’s great for sure!

On the other side, there are always moments in which we give ourselves some time to realize that life is extremely complex. We can’t even define it inside our insignificance in light of the immensity of the world. Life requires for making decisions and the singularity of ourselves will show us that this simplicity/those lists are not a solution for such problems.
