"I do not know what I want"- a common belief
I am reading Emotional Equations by Chip Conley. Good book but I do not know if I will finish it. I am short on time.
One of the equations that he presents is:
Life Mission=Pleasure/Pain
To maximize the likelihood that it is your life mission it must give you a lot of Pleasure BUT also minimize the Pain. Suppose you use 100 for pleasure and 1 for pain then the likelihood that it is your mission is 100/1=100.
Note that if something causes you lots of pleasure but also causes a lot of Pain then the two cancel each other. In this case the pleasure would be 100 but the pain might be a 50 then the Life mission score is only 2.
It seems simple enough. Find something that you enjoy BUT also is not causing you any pain will be closer in line to your life mission.
Today's question is:
"What gives you maximum Pleasure and minimum Pain?"
