Interesting article and very nice photos.
I thought about the saying a bit and was wondering what it meant in my life right now.
As I'm traveling in a van, not working, I feel like on rare occasions, I had no motivation to "weave something myself" and the strings were just lying around. These were some akward moments but they showed me that it's also important to have a friendly framework around you in your everyday life that supports you in times where you have no motivation left.
I mean didn't everybody at some point had a bad morning, where one just wanted to go to bed again but didn't because (s)he had to go to work. And then realizing (s)he had one of the most productive or fullfilling days.
So maybe sometimes you have no choice but to be the puppet.
But often enough, the people on your side pulling the strings are doing an amazing job and you can be greatful for that. ;D
Such a great comment and yes sometimes you have to be the puppet and some days when you have no motivation can surprise you when the day turns around
I think if like you are traveling and not working as such you have already set off on your own path and making your own choices fir the day
I think all of us are in some ways the puppet and in other ways our own puppet master it’s up to each of us to choose where the balance Is between the two
Yes, it's so important to find the right balance between the two!
I just feel that most of the people at the moment feel they're on the puppet side.
That sometimes gives me the feeling that there is no other side and that the rule for freedom is: the more the better!
But I think I realized now that there is something like too much freedom.
(Still only occuring rarely)
It can be exhausting to decide every little (or big) thing you do every day.
btw: sorry for the late answer, I had problems logging into steem,
I think because of the HF...
Have a great day and the right balance of puppet and master ;)
No worries fir the late answer we all had issues with Steemit for a few days
I think your right as with everything too much is not always a good thing even with Freedom the challenge is getting the right balance
