We only have one life. We are responsible for that ourselves. Adulthood is a milestone, but some individuals need guardianship for longer. More important than this moment is creating rules of the game that you can follow when you decide for yourself. Laws impose their own restrictions on the rules. Despite these, we have the opportunity to create the living conditions we want, especially in Western countries such as Finland. The world is not always a fair place. We can lose even if we create our own rules of the game, as permitted by the restrictions of the law. Today, we cannot blame our society today for our failures, even if it steers individuals in the most favorable direction for the system. The system is often wrong. It does not take into account our individual needs. Then you have a responsibility to take care of your life as well as you can.
Creating your own rules of the game
requires critical thinking. Not everyone's rules of the game are the
same. The difference is good because the world would be a boring
place for everyone to do the same things in life. Today, our most
prestigious life paths are the following: elementary school, high
school, college studies, and transitioning from an employee to a
large and well-known employer. This is followed by a family, a
mortgage, working until retirement age paying taxes and a slow
movement towards the inevitable goal. This is a slightly exaggerated
and deliberately painted negative outlook for the future, as it is
intended to evoke the idea that this is not an inevitable outcome. By
creating our own rules of the game, we can have a better chance of
enjoying our lives more as an individual and not just as part of the
overall machinery. The world is full of opportunities and we should
exploit them to improve our quality of life.
There can be
hundreds of rules of the game and each situation has its own. Instead
of detailed rules of the game, we need to create rules of the game
that focus on the big picture. In these texts, we’ll go through how
we can create rules of the game for important areas of our lives,
such as time, relationships, health, and money. We can reduce our
burden in every area with clear rules. We can use Less is more
concept. It can be exploited in the rules of the game to improve our
quality of life. We can play a different game than 95% of people by
creating our rules. Most work like others. It is possible to be a
pioneer, but it will not work for many. Shortcuts exist and we can
use them. This requires us to walk our own paths. It can feel like
you are alone and a loser’s path for a long time.
We must
define our own success. Being at work 24/7 and making large sums of
money can be a loser´s path if it leads to a collapse in personal
life, such as divorce and bitter offspring. Even making small sums of
money can be a success. This is not the path most choose. Choosing a
path for the general public is not a bad thing if it is a path you
really want to follow. These texts are not for this path but for
creating your own rules of the game and enforcing them. If things go
down the drain, you should leave them unchanged. What is not broken
should not be repaired. There is no point in making a small
improvement because the input-output ratio is not growing enough.
It
makes sense to follow different rules when things don’t go the way
you want. We all have our strengths and weaknesses in some jobs. We
often do not use them enough to our advantage. By utilizing them, we
not only improve our own quality of life, but also benefit our
environment. There are many solutions to the problems. The most
commonly used are not always the best but almost always imitated by
mediocrity. Utilizing them, the results are mediocre at best. This
may mean more work, but utilizing your own thinking will yield better
results than utilizing generally accepted paths.
