    My point was more in relation to your first post but it's still the same. Either you do something or do nothing.

    Actually, there's a huge conflict between your zone of genius: speaking and being a firefighter. These are two almost entirely different domains requiring different skillsets. 

    If you are good at giving speech, you should at least be doing jobs like sales, telemarketing, copywriting or teaching. At least you will still be honing your skills in speaking while pursuing your ultimate goals.

    Zenswift, basically you have set 3 lofty goals for yourself. The goals that you set would make you wealthy and hugely successful if you make them. However, these goals also have very barriers towards success which you have to push through.

    So besides being motivated, you have to be disciplined. It is doing the work whether you feel like it or not. 

    Life is short. You are going to die 150 years from now just like everyone else. So either do something or meditate or do nothing since you are going to die anyway. The choice is up to you.

    Now, could feeling itself be based on a thought, just of a different kind than what's usually meant by "thought"?

    Well, it depends on how one defines what are sensation, feelings and emotions? But these are all words invented by men. So they are also defined by men.

    If your hand touch a hot iron accidentally, your hand will almost instantaneously move away from the hot iron. It's such a fast reaction that it's almost 'unconscious' and movement is immediate. Does it go through the brain to process and then return to the hand before you move off?

    Does the cells on your hand have memories/karma/brains/sensation/feelings/emotions?

    System is needed not just to get the job done. System is also required for checks and balance among other things.

    First, you have a record of the job done with system.

    Then if the same person ask for the items again, the system reminds you that the person has already received it. This prevents fraud or double transactions etc.

    While there is no perfect system, having a system is usually better than no systems at all.

    @Tristan12 You are probably the type who likes to overthink. Don't worry so much. You will probably be able to survive with the resources you have. Just be disciplined and do the work required.

    One purpose of doing meditation is actually to bring back control of your mind. The mind seems to overthink a lot. You can try to drown yourself with work or activities. The other way is to gain back control of your mind. 

    If you think about it, people who committed suicide are mostly people who have lost control of their mind. Stop overthinking. 

    Another way is to practice letting go.
