Border meeting. I'm Ed Donahue with an AP news minute as the partial government shutdown continues. Congressional leaders come to the White House today. The White House invited them here for a border security briefing. Unlike the last time, the president met with democratic leaders contentious session eleven days before the shutdown began. This will be televised. It'll be inside the high security situation room under the west wing and the agendas unclear that's the AP soccer megani. Police are searching for a driver who fired several shots into a car carrying a family in the Houston area killing a seven year old girl. There was another shooting in that area.

So let's get right to it as we optimize her life. Of course, it's unreasonable dummy by Joshua fields millburn of the minimalists dot com. A recently imagined in elaborate conversation between my twenty seven year old self and my thirty year old self myself from yesteryear versus myself from today. Sadly it was not a pretty exchange suffice it to say there was a vast ideological dichotomy between these two guys looking down on their tete-a-tete from my um, Nisshin point of view. This is a small chunk of what I observed. My twenty seven year old self had it all figured out. He could do no wrong. He was too confident read Merigan for his own good. He had the high paying job, the fancy title to satisfy young corporate executive, the long term career goals. The short term spend more money than I make goals that big house, the fancy cars, the big screen, TV's and all the stuff that was eventually going to make him happy once all the puzzle pieces fit perfectly my thirty year old self had it all figured out too. But in a radically different way, he knew he had figured it all out as soon as he had stopped. Trying to figure it all out. He knew he didn't know everything nor would he ever. But he knew that with every year that passed, he would continue to grow these slightly older man also found a certain amount of contempt for the younger man. And it was hard for him to hide this disdain. He couldn't believe how hisself of yesteryear placed so much importance, immaterial possessions while he didn't value the most important things in life, health relationships, passions, growth, and contribution with that. Contempt also came pity from the older man pity for a man who was lost, but didn't know he was lost more than anything. The older man sympathize with the younger man, busy of been on the same path a few years earlier, the two men talked for a while stating their points of view. Both men had passionate seemingly valid arguments in rationalizations for their persuasions, and they each had their incontrovertible dogmas more. So they thought there was one gaping difference between these two men and you could see it in the younger man's eyes. On the twenty seven year old man was not happy sure. He wore mantle of happiness and experienced short bursts of pleasure or satisfaction, but he wasn't truly happy inside and all the fancy things in the world weren't going to make him content. If anything, those things only increased his requirement for more things to pacify deeper problem. These two men talked about happiness. The younger man wasn't sure why he was unhappy. He had everything society told him he was supposed to have right. Dealder man suggested that contentment was found within and that no amount of external factors were going to promote the discontentment within the older man attempted to share what he learned over the last couple of years. He shared how he found contentment in his relationships with his close friends, how we found satisfaction in growing as an individual and contributing to other people in meaningful ways, how he found happiness in pursuing his passions, not pursuing more stuff. So you just left your high paying job, got rid of most of your stuff. And started living a meaningful life. The younger man asked in a half mocking cynical tone. Yes, it didn't happen overnight though. It took a couple of years of focus of you years of being conscious a few years of being aware of what's truly important. I had to make a fundamental shift in the way I live my most. People aren't living that way. The younger man interrupted with a raise voice. He was heated. He felt his way of life is entire identity was being questioned after all. He had worked so hard to get all the stuff he had to get the identity. He now possessed and who for you to tell me my lifestyle's wrong, who the for you to tell me how to live my life. I'm not telling you how to live your life. I'm simply stating the obvious what you're doing right now is not making you happy, nor are you on the path to happiness, the path you're on leads to more discontent my, no, because I've been down the same path until you focus on what's important until you focus on what's going on inside you. You won't be happy. Whatever giving up this lifestyle just to pursue my passions seems incredibly unreasonable. Younger man, shouted, of course, it's unreasonable. Dummy. The older man snapback being unhappy and discontent is completely reasonable. Within our society, we see it every day. Being reasonable means lowering your standards. Being reasonable means doing what everyone else expects you to do. Being reasonable means living in average life, but I'd rather be extraordinarily unreasonable and content in happy. I'd rather live a meaningful, albeit unreasonable life, get unreasonable and everything's possible. Forget about being reasonable, being reasonable me into the same pile of urine. Now. You just listen to the post titled of course it's unreasonable dummy by Joshua fields millburn of the minimalists dot com.
