Be present in every moment

By being present in every moment you allow yourself to be Zen which allows infinite variations in behaviors towards positive outcomes.

Most people's lives are very predictable. However, by creating your lives to be more spontaneous you can create infinite ways to function in any given moment. The more enslaved to things or work you become the less freedom you have to move in any direction at any moment.

I remember thinking a lot about this in my teens and 20s and realized owning businesses where you have control of your time more is the most useful. And businesses where you aren't trying to support a storefront of some kind might be the most useful in this direction in your lives. Because storefronts you notice are going out of business a lot lately because most business is shifting to online businesses sort of like AMAZON at this point where the things you buy are from a warehouse instead of a storefront where you have to pay more rent and employees so your items cost more. By reducing store fronts you likely pay less this way.

However, when you have one business monopolizing many industries and jobs this becomes a problem too. Because what are all the sales clerks going to do for work. And then later when all trucks and cars are self driving what are all those people going to do for work to feed themselves and their families?

So, the changes this century are very serious as storefronts close more and more like Sears (which has been in business since 1894) is closing stores a lot now too.
