Living a strategic life can be a trap.

[Shane Hanlon]

up until 5 minutes ago I unconsciously believed that living a conscious life and a strategic life were one and the same thing. After all that is the natural stage orange thing to do with consciousness. But actually constant strategizing of my life is causing me to suffer.

Strategy is a closed loop. If I am strategizing about how to live the best life I can, I will always end up believing that the best life is the one I strategize the best, because that is the end game of strategy - perfect strategy. But that is being stuck in "stage orange thinking". Love feels much better than strategy and you can't strategize your way to love. You can only surrender or release or love your way to love.

Yes and the beautiful part is that surrender itself doesn't exist in a sense, surrender simply means to let go of everything that is false and that is holding you back from being love. Therefore, do what you love and drop what you don't !

Sometimes, strategizing will be part of that, often times not.
