FOMO

FOMO is the Fear of Missing Out. It's also called anxiety and busy-ness.

I have been encouraged by many around me to become more busy. To work more, do something, do ANYTHING.

But that's just the thing. Doing some thing and doing any thing are assumed to be better than no thing. And that's not always true. I'm not advocating for complete inaction, only to say that most people are stuck in positions where they are forced to do some thing, or can't do any thing or try to do every thing.

And the reason is that they fear that they will be missing out. If I can accept that sometimes I will miss out, then I can give it up as a fear. And then I can focus on the things that I want to do, or choose to reflect in a space of no thing and possibly, just maybe... achieve every thing.

Because believing in some thing and believing in no thing are contradictory, logically speaking. And believing in no thing and believing in every thing are polar opposites, yet have essentially the same world view, because believing in every thing would include believing in no thing, and believing in no thing is universal and thus applies to every thing... ha ha, now I sound like a Buddhist making an argument.

But seriously - nothing and everything as belief systems don't work, or they work equally well. They require us to make a choice of system, which is some thing. Actually, it's a big thing. That requirement of choice is critical.

We choose the world that we live in. All worlds are possible. No world is impossible.

Live in Fear of Missing Out? Congratulations! You're already home.

Live in Fear of Commitment? Congratulations! You're home too.

So Remolishing requires choice. The choice is ours. It's mine. It's yours. What world do we live in?
