Creating A Problem-Free Life

ByMatthew

The solution of the problem that you see in life is to live in a way that will make what is problematic disappear. – Ludvig Wittgenstein

This quote inspires me:

What if I lived my life in such a way that 1) Problems / Issues / Frustrations/ Impossibilities were seen as Challenges / Learning-and-Growth-Opportunities and 2) my choices and actions increasingly create a life wherein things I don’t welcome or prefer are increasingly absent?

What do you think?

Is it possible?

Is the “problem” that I even need to ask if it’s possible?

Is doubting the possibility of such a life the only thing standing in the way of its creation?

The idea of living in such a way is very enticing . . . dontcha think?
