Effortless : Pray to Perumal

1. Please keep me happy
   • God will grant you what you need; not what you think you want
   • Don't compare what you get - after all, you don't know what you want; it is meaningless to compare yourself to others way of life and lifestyle - even if you had it, it might bring you more misery than happiness that you might want

• less is not more. Less is Less. And that is perfectly fine. Minimalism as a way of life, not as a means to an end but as end in of itself
  • Define what you are not like Mathew does - https://bit.ly/eliminateThis

3. Create some balance in life - for example, three broad areas and spend time in all three areas
   • work
   • family
   • friends

Alternative Effortful Approach

1. Ask the right type of questions - intelligent questions, please!

   • how to make sure we maintain financial security
     • living and fleeting with risk ever so slightly
     • playing it safe
     • a slow death
   • how to think act and execute like a monopolist?
   • Don't ask "How can I be happier?"
     • determine what will make you happy, and find out "how can I learn to do it today? Quickly?"

2. Make some decisions - break away from the past activities

   • it is okay to go hungry for 72 hours - completely mind blown that my body had the spare calories within it

   • "less food the better" - new belief

     • the less sweeter it is, the better

   • "less is less" - LIFE is about FOCUS - don't try to too much, please, it is not good for your heart

3. Maintain the discipline to follow through on your decisions

   • Death by a 1000 cuts
   • Goal by a 1000 hacks

4. Less is less - like a hobo

I basically shall aspire to have the material needs of a hobo. Except that I need my organic single estate french press ground coffee to be brewed at ~ 84 Celsius for 4:40 min, no more, no less.
