The biggest thing that i hate about life is how competitive everyone is and is encouraged to be since birth. Everything revolves around standing out as an individual and developing talents that you can then sell in the "market place". What if you derive the most joy out of cooperating with people you enjoy being around, instead of wasting your entire life in a job that you hate? I don't really want success, i just want to be able to do whatever i want without worrying about money. The constant worry cripples me and makes it so i don't want to do anything when i do have free time. The world just seems like an utterly cold inhuman place. It wasn't made for a person like me, but for somebody else. Somebody i fundamentally can't relate to.

At the age of 20 I moved to an eight foot trailer in the woods with no electricity or running water. Cellphones, computers and the internet did not yet exist. For two years I lived simply, washing in the creek and cooking my food over a fire. I read lots of books. I read Thoreau's Walden. To say I related and connected to Thoreau's words would be an understatement. His writing would shape who I would become. While living in that trailer, I decided to build a small cabin in the woods, and then I decided to go to college. My Early American literature professor asked me to teach the unit on Transcendentalism. I became an English teacher and then an administrator, and a county commissioner. Life became busy, and challenging, and rewarding. Now, 40 years from when I left the trailer in the woods, I'm back in the woods, living alone in a shop on the side of a mountain. My hair and beard now white. The stars and sky are my true ceiling. The trees my friends and neighbors. I am content in my life's journey, in all the things I acquired and lost along the way. Life can be amazing, if we let it be amazing.

You know you're ready to be yourself when you accept being a loser in the eyes of someone else.

"An exciting life is one where we're excited to be alive not one where we're frantically doing things." That hit me.

my 40 yr old son is one of these amazing loners! he's never wanted a family, just wanted a peaceful life of study and living in the country with us. he's an amazingly interesting and helpful person, I've never met anyone with such deep thoughts and wisdom. I feel super grateful to have been his mom. he has awakened my mind in beautiful ways and we are so close. he's a real joy and I know I don't have to worry about him, he takes care of me in my old age!

Im 31, im not married, i dont have a girlfriend, no social life, i only have a steady job that i enjoy and some extra money for treating myself. Sometimes i get depressed realizing that i am lonely. But the funny part is that i often catch myself feeling most at peace when im sipping a good liquer or beer alone in the forest while looking into a campfire watching my dinner cook. It would be nice to have it all, but having no worries and just being alone at peace is also nice. Appretiate what you have dudes.

"A successful life is simply a conscious one" this might be a short answer to all those feelings deep in my heart, that I'm missing something or that I don't feel fulfilled. Consciousness is the key to happiness.

When things get rough I often remind myself that just the fact that I can smell an orange is an incredible thing that makes life all the more worth living.

I failed. I failed all my life. Broken family, toxic relationship, being bullied, study and work failed, and broke. I was upset and asked God that why me? I've done my best, but failed, why?. So I built a strong ego to protect myself. Later, I found that it made me failed and became more suffering.
2 months ago, I decided to be a real loser. I surrendered everything and said "Ok. If it meant to happen, let's God manage it. I'll rest." I was depressed and cried every night. I couldn't sleep.
But last week, I started getting used to it. I found that I feel better to be a loser. Because I didn't fight for anything and put myself in a toxic situation. I listen and allow anyone to teach me anything. I'm polite and helpful to those who are banned by toxic people. Being this weak sets me free from anger and expectation. I listen more with my heart. That brought me the new good friends. So, being a loser is the gold ring to me.

I enjoy wild camping. I love the simplicity and being with the elements. However all my friends talk about me doing it like Iâm a freak. âYou just go in the woods on your own? Thatâs weird mateâ they all need ÂŁ25k cars to impress people on Instagram but I just want to sit by a little fire that Iâve made myself. I hate how this modern world has brainwashed 99% of people. As humans, Weâve lost our way :(

For years I listened to very well known podcasters who inspired me to make more of myself. Discipline, self awareness, be awake, energized and alert, let not opportunity pass you by.
I ended up exhausted.
I now realise these podcasters are workaholics who never stop, constantly pushing their boundaries.
That might work for them, for me I am happiest and at peace doing nothing of any significance.

I'll tell you what success is. At my grandpa's funeral there were hundreds of people who I had never met and they didn't know anyone in my family but were compelled to come and tell us what a positive impact he had on their life. He was a teacher and many said their best teacher ever. To be successful is to have a positive impact on the world. It has nothing to do with money or fame. Just do what it takes to help others.

I realised this when I was in College. Incredibly competitive person. It's only being number one or nothing at all. Would blame myself in every mistake and things that didn't go as planned.
Decided from walked one time to see the area around my uni. Unexpectedly watched the trees and sunbeam, realised I've been in this uni in three years now and feels like this is the first time I see them. Decided to slowed in life. Found the beauty in it. Best decision I've done.

I definetly a loser. I preferred to stop being an engineer to be a truck driver, and this job makes me happier, not only because it's easier, but also because gives me enough time to be just with myself, meditating about life.
