 fear of missing out This is something that many if not all of us have to some degree We feel like somehow the life we're living is missing something and that There's so much going on out there that we want to be part of but I would look at this in two ways in one sense This FOMO Can never be satisfied So much so that there's no point in actually being afraid of it because if you look at the size of the universe not just in like the size of empty space or What's out there, but simply the size of the human world All the people in the world all the places in the world all the things that are going on Even if we were to be these super globetrotters that could visit every corner of the earth and meet tens of thousands of people Even millions within the time of our lives if we spent every moment in maximal Exploration of the world at the end of living to a hundred and twenty years of maximal exploration We would still get only a very tiny slice of what's out there Somebody living this super globetrotting exploring life open to all things the extreme of what you could imagine of this kind of embracing life Mentality the YOLO extreme YOLO FOMO conquering YOLO life At the end of somehow this person manages to live to the age of 120 and Even at the end of that time that person would only have Witnessed and been part of and experienced a very small slice of What's out there? You could meet thousands of people. There's millions and millions more You could visit thousands of places. There's thousands of places more and even if you could somehow Meet everyone in the world and visit every place. You're still only Living in one tiny slice of history so No matter what we are always going to be MO we're always going to be missing out so to that to that Side of things there's really there's no reason to be afraid of it because we can simply assume That no matter what we will miss out There are so many things going on that are beyond our scale. We Simply cannot be doing everything Every day there is some exciting new thing happening Somewhere every minute somebody has a cool new thing We simply cannot Keep up with it all So forget about that form. It seems to be to be unnecessary. It seems to be Maybe not something to think of as a fear of missing out but simply of a hunger for life a thirst for life a thirst to Experience what we can we still have to accept that no matter how full our lives are We're still only going to get the tiniest slice of the universe But where I could see it being Useful feeling something that something to pay attention to this FOMO feeling is maybe It's not like we're living that perfect adventure exploring the world life where We have the maximal possible experience with our time. Maybe we are living in a very Small space even smaller than the slice that we could live in and maybe that feeling is Telling us something real that it's not about oh, there's so many things going on. I have to be part of all of them I can't miss out anything But a feeling that Maybe I'm missing out something that my life could be something that my life really could be Not just because it's happening somewhere in the universe, but something in my life that my life could be something better my I could be living a bigger more open and more full Life and I'm missing out on this opportunity in my own life because of living within very narrow Guidelines So if it's to this level then I think FOMO that feeling can be a guide perhaps that We need to Make something more of our lives. We need to let More new things new adventure new possibilities into our lives So we can never get it all we're always going to be missing out almost Missing out on almost everything that's going on anywhere in the universe But within this little slice of the universe that we have we do have the ability to make it More than what we have now
