To me, the most important luxury technology is the ability to make a choice in the moment. That is, we can decide to be fully present or we can choose to be fully un-present. The ability to make these decisions allows us to choose to be more aware in the present moment.
The difference between the present moment and the future moment is that the future moment is the moment that we are going to be facing and the present moment is the moment that we are already facing. It is the future moment that we are completely aware of, the present moment we are just choosing.
So in this moment, we are aware that we are standing on the beach, deciding to choose to be fully present or fully un-present. The choice is ours to make, and we can choose to be fully present or fully un-present.The present moment is all we are aware of, the future moment we are completely unaware of. The choice we make in this moment is what we are really going to experience in the future.
To choose the future moment is to choose the present moment. To choose the future moment is to choose to be fully present. To choose the future moment is to choose to have full awareness of ourselves and our choices. To choose the future moment is to choose to be an active participant in our lives. In this moment we are completely aware, in the future moment we are absolutely unaware.
Many years ago I was working for a large corporation where I did research on a subject that was of great importance to our client base. As I worked on various projects, I often found myself analyzing situations and asking questions that I thought would be important to the audience I was working for.
The thing that struck me about this subject was the great amount of variability that it has. In the past I have been a huge fan of the idea of an individual’s own personal “autonomy.” I wanted the individual to have the power to make their own decisions, but also to be able to weigh out the consequences of those choices. The more autonomy you have, the less likely you are to take action that may cause you pain or discomfort.
I think the reason that I love this subject is that I have seen firsthand how the benefits of autonomy go beyond financial benefits. When I was working in the banking industry, I worked in the most regulated field, and I witnessed how the benefits of working for myself were incredible. The only negative aspect of working for myself was that you have to take care of yourself. If you’re not, you risk falling into debt.
The thing is, I dont think many people fully appreciate the benefits of working for oneself. There is a huge amount of pressure you have to keep up with. If you dont, you can easily slip behind. I personally never had to take care of myself financially in my entire career. Ive only fallen behind once, when I was in the banking industry. The only thing that saved me was that I never paid myself.
One of the reasons people don’t fully appreciate the benefits of working for oneself is because in the beginning, it’s hard to know what to expect. We all have a lot of thoughts and feelings that we may or may not want to share with someone else. For example, I can be very protective of my job, and I don’t want to lose it.
