Conversations with the anteater, forties edition

Most of you readers know I have many conversations with the anteater. He came into my life in 2009 with his wisdom (!) and never left. Here’s a recent conversation:

“I used to believe in I think, therefore I am“,

“But lately I learnt it’s only one way to be…and maybe I need to move away from it…”

“Maybe I can give some autonomy to my body…”

“Huh. And we all know how that turned out!

“I’m very tempted by Eckhart Tolle and the absence of thought…”

“Ulp!”

TRANSCRIPT
The mistake that people make when they start to do something the love, is that they start equating that with success. But that’s not right – when you start doing something you love, your goals should be self-awareness, self esteem, the joy of work, and finally, creativity through play. Then, if success comes from that, very good. But if not, at least you enjoyed yourself and probably learned a little about yourself in the process.
