Simple Ways to Have a Good Life with James Scott Henson James Scott Henson

Okay, time to wrap up the series on being the main character by talking about three ways we can chip away at the idea of our own importance:

1. Learn to meditate

2. Invest in other people

3. Understand that you will die

I know that a lot of this might seem disempowering or morbid, but there is freedom in recognizing that nothing revolves around you. I promise.

This is an audio version of an old video that I created specifically for an issue of my newsletter.

It’s about 4 things we can always be grateful for:

1) There is something instead of nothing.

2) This something is stable.

3) We have a consciousness with which to experience this stable something.

4) We have a say in how this consciousness relates to the stable something.

I was sick when I recorded it, please excuse the difficulty breathing you hear from time to time.

I used to think I was the main character. Now I know I’m not. 

There’s freedom in ordinariness.

Having a morning routine is one of the simplest ways we can improve our lives. I really found that how I start the morning is how my day goes. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
