Hey @oliver.rivers. Nice article. I think the biggest reason why people feel overwhelmed is because they don't do what they enjoy. I feel like being overwhelmed comes from a sense of burden or frustration. But when you do something you enjoy, that burden and frustration is consumed by the passion for that art (whatever that may be).

@joe01, great comment. So true... unfortunately the times are long over where people do what they love, people do what earns them money. Love this video form Alan Watts, If money was no object.
@oliver.rivers - great vid! Times are not long over where people do what they love. People just focus on the wrong things. People don't focus on themselves and what they are excited about. Like, if you like music - get into the music industry. You might not be an artist, but maybe you are involved in some other capacity. Maybe you are good at math, but in a job for sales. Maybe you love to write, but are in a job for data analysis. It's these mismatches that create unhappiness in people - at least from everything I've seen. It all just makes me want to help people all the more.
Agree, all we have to do is look at our children... The are pure, happy and present and do only what fills them with joy until we force them into the system.
I see it a little different than you, I see probably 90% of the worlds population spending a third of their live doing something they don't like doing :)
Thanks for sharing!
