Art, Food, Humans

What do we really desire and “need”to thrive on our time on planet earth?

My idea so far:

We desire art, food, and our fellow human beings.

1. Art

A life without art isn’t a life worth living. Both creating your own art, and enjoying the artwork of others to inspire you to make more of your own art.

When we are in the creative flow of making art, we feel invincible. To me, this artistic flow is the “optimal human state”. The higher the percentage of the day we can spend in a state of flow, the better. Ideally for myself, I would spend all waking hours of my day in a state of flow, and night time spent sleeping deeply.

2. Food

We obviously need food to survive and thrive — to grow your muscles, you need more protein, nutrition, meat.

My theory:

We need optimal nutrition to also make our minds thrive.

This means, avoid toxic substances like sugar, simple carbohydrates, pseudo-foods.

3. Humans

A life without people you love and care for isn’t a life worth living.

For me, this is Cindy, my friends and family.

And I love strangers, and other people in society. To know I’m making an impact on the life of other humans is immensely rewarding, and keeps me going.

Conclusion: Amplify your essentials

Optimize your life for your essentials: your art creation, food and sustenance to power your muscles, and humans whom you care for deeply.

Make on!
