    My wife and I found leaving all the stuff behind freed us of a lot of worry and stress. We stopped feeding the beast. Sold it all and moved to a small coastal town into a small cottage. We’ve never been happier . Initially we were going to put an addition onto this as it’s 800sq feet. Instead we just got rid of more stuff . Small house small town and time with our animals . It’s all we need .

      I second that. Live in a van, on a mountain, doing what I love, that brings me meaning... and the longer I spend out here, the happier I become and the more delusional the claim that any of the stuff apparently of importance in current affairs appears... we don't have to spend our lives bothering about what's going on halfway round the world or to countless people who just can't work out that this is a beautiful world and a beautiful life worth living... so, these days, I just have no time for it really, there's too many beautiful views to look at, too many birds to appreciate, too many interesting projects to put together, too many new ideas to realise. 🙂 If only more people would realise that, but, they have to learn it themselves. Protect your own peace of mind and think about what's in front if your eyes. ...If a war comes, for example, these days I just don't care unless I see a tank rolling over the moor here, its just more of some other person's foolishness, it'll always be there so why waste time on it, you can't fix it but you can let it be and do something wonderful yourself.

    I believe what you have said is true. I was just walking my poor old dog ( she is 14 and has been sick lately ) and thinking to myself at my age of 63, how tired I am of the world around me and at how withdrawn and hateful people are now. I have decided to stay to myself and pro-sue hobbies I enjoy and to worry less about this bitter place. I always make an effort to say hello to people I come across on my walks, but have found that most of them just stare at me and say nothing. Especially the younger folk. I have been turning off the news a lot more, because it started making me feel physically ill to watch anymore. I am now determined to pro-sue that peace you are talking about. I have come to realize that we are all just passing through this place anyway. Especially with the number of people I knew who are now gone. It is up to me to enjoy the time I have left here.

    Without going into a long story, I made some very drastic changes in my life that have set me on a path of peace. I divorced from a long relationship that was stagnant. I changed my fast food diet and over time have reached the point where I eat mostly whole foods. I started caring about my fitness. My mental health is miles away better than it ever was before because I made those scary, enormous changes. I hope others will do the same if they are feeling stuck and depressed.

    Bjorn I am the same age as you and had similar 1980s upbringing. My “heart attack” came in the form of breast cancer six years ago. This was followed by a very strong call back to nature, which I answered. Only to find that the nature I found myself in was being exploited beyond belief. They tried to push me out when I stood up to them, but they found a brick wall. It would have been easier to walk away, but leaving the river, the trees and the animals in the care of evil people was not an option. This is where I will make a stand, this is where I will succeed or fall.

    All those years of making money in jobs where we received no respect ( except from the amazing kids!), all so that we could afford to live in the place that was causing us so much stress- what a waste!

    It's so nice after a long, long hard working day, to come here, to sit peacefully and listen to you and your wisdom and reminders of so many truths regarding our lives. It's easy for us in our world to forget many of these fundamental roots to our being.
    Wonderful video, as with your others, thank you.
    We still have and hold the power of choice and healing don't we.

    As a follower of stoicism, courage is an integral virtue and for myself it is the most important.

    Freedom and belonging have been separated almost as opposites now. You give up freedom to ‘belong’. Freedom and belonging coupled together bring happiness and peace. This society has uncoupled them unfortunately. Thank you.

    Excellent message. I've made extreme choices as an adult to preserve my peace, and if I can do it, others can as well. It does take courage.

    Yes hard choices. It seems like greater the perception of difficulty to give something up, the greater the intrinsic reward for doing so.

    If you are not happy , then move. You are not a tree. 🌲 And no, it's not always easy, but it's worth fighting for. 💪

    Peace, freedom, happiness.
    That is definitely the key. I don't look further. peace is deciding who I want in my space, and when.
    Freedom is to choose for myself and not having to follow the crowd. Happiness is a natural outcome of this.
