Discovered through [[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path]], it is the philosophical reason for [[Entrepreneurship]] [[The default path]] The main reason for going on the pathless path is because traditional paths are not personally fulfilling enough: ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^nz25ao]] It makes sense as to why. Traditional paths are not made by us, but by other people to fulfill their desires and dreams. Instead, we need to turn our survival mindset into one of growth and fulfillment in a [[Self-Actualization]] way: ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^6nmbjx]] ## Philosophy [[The pathless path transformation]] Some changes towards traditional concepts from traditional work include: ### Work Definitely not about doing more, but rather follows principles of [[My Resources/My MOCs/Slow Productivity]]: ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^6ia38v]] ### Vacations ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^m7notq]] - Continues to tap into [[Aspiration]] by exploring different lifestyles you can adopt ### Finances [[Money should be used for lifestyle experimentation]] [[Becoming wealthy is not urgent]] ## Benefits ## Values ### [[Uncertainty]] The pathless path has lots of uncertainty. ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^ms7j2n]] Thankfully, [[Wonder is the negative antidote to uncertainty]] [[Responsibility]] ### Community You will be judged by people following a traditional path: ![[My Inputs/My Books/The Pathless Path#^01waqh]] [[People pursuing the pathless path are non-transactional]] ### In the book #### Question the default There are much more paths available then the one you are currently on, and that will always be the case. When on the pathless path, we are faced with continuous questioning to figure out what path resonates most with us. I personally already do this and have been working towards this #### Reflect Reflection is the antidote to being on autopilot. Review your values on a daily basis to set intention and compare it with your days. I have opportunities for review and reflection in my life constantly through my periodic reviews ([[My Alignment Philosophy]]) #### Figure what you have to offer Ask other people for an understanding of you beyond your comprehension. I can do this through my audience, through the people close to me in my life. #### Pause and disconnect At least one month away from work? 😱 Do it to let all distractions pass, to be in tune with your inner feelings. #### Make a friend Meet other people on their own pathless paths, figuring out what they want to do. Thanks to Aidan and my own unique niche, I've been able to meet a lot of other passionate people. #### Go make something Permissionless creativity to share and learn about the world. I am starting to do this through my newsletter for an intrinsic development of my personal brand. #### Give generously A skill that allows for further connection with others. It provides a sense of security beyond your own, which can alleviate the constant self-worry for survival knowing that if something unexpected happens you can turn to other people for help. I cannot give financial generosity, but I can give knowledge. #### Experiment Continue to try new things to get closer to the ideal life you want to strive towards. I have systems in place that let me do so through my goal and project setting. #### Commit Commitment allows for growth. Fully committing to this pathless path leads to the highest potential of growth and clarity. Once we start to find what we enjoy most, we can begin to commit. I think my ADHD can be my navigator for helping me find what I should commit towards, as it will happen naturally. However, I just need to make sure I also accommodate for when it isn't the case. #### Be patient Patience can only happen when you have a survival safety net.
