The Journey Begins

And a disclaimer at the end.

The more time I spend researching the concept of Ma, the more I realise it is a multi-dimensional philosophy and much more complex than what we discovered so far. It seems to be relevant to every part of daily life and to even attempt this journey, I will have to keep an open mind and be willing to make the necessary adjustments.

In the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, he explains how we tend to be goal orientated. We believe we should change our results, but the results are not the problem. We in fact need to change the systems that cause the results. When we do this – in our pursuit of Ma – we will find joy and small wins during the journey.

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
– James Clear

This made me think which small changes I can make and habits I can add to my life to point me in the right direction. In the next post(s) we will look at some of these changes and the impact it has on my life.

To end today’s brief discussion, here’s an extensive summary of the book, Atomic Habits by Escaping Ordinary.

This blog is like my diary or journal – and about my personal pursuit… I will try to document my adventure, as it unfolds. The successes, but also my failures. The opinions here is my own and I do not want to create the illusion that I have the answers. If you decide to join me on my journey, I hope that you will find nuggets that might add value to your life.
