Door 13 of 24: Multiverse aspect of success

Today I was pretty close to secure exposure for me and my music in a national television show, I was so far I even spoke with them on the phone, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, it didn't make it.

But with quantum physics and multiverse in mind, I have started to believe that opportunities that have been near but failed to be secure actually should be considered as a success in an multiverse aspect. By the fact of having come so close it actually were a chance it could have been happened for me, it did probably happen but assigned to another parallell universe. This should be taken as a partial success.

And the karma of it are shared across universes because there will come new opportunities for me later, which might be secured here but not in the another universe, creating a somewhat kind of interdimensional karma exchange.

It is like a stock market, in which different parallel universes has assets and liabilities that are cleared between those parallell worlds. An example was an event in the last summer in which I was unable to make use of the warm weather and go and bath due (high worth opportunity due to the unusual early heatwave) due to some IBS flare up, I instead had the time to make a pitch with perfect time and secure coverage in a major newspaper. The high valued bathing opportunity had actually been traded with a parallell world in exchange of the other opportunity to secure the coverage, like selling stocks and buying a car for the funds from the sale.

There is transactions and liabilities between parallell worlds and my Buddhalow manifest says that we actually are the traders that makes the decision or experience what way the business will take.

Door 11 of 24: Commuting and flexible housing

Behind the 11th door of the Sufferbuying calendar is the insight of commuting and flexible housing.

From our experience last semester is that many employers or contractors are open to remote working from another city, but they want on site presence much initially and regulary. We also read earlier this winter in Breakit that there has come new initiative for temporary housing solutions for top talent because the knowledge within technology is a high demand but scare skilll, so many companies are open to help their employers or contractors with alternating solutions for housing like night apartment or buying whole apartments.

From our own empiric experience with a recent client, it testify that initial starting a new contract or employment often need presence initially.

With that in mind, I should begin realize that there might be an additional option between staying in Sufferbuying and finding an apartment in another city. An option that would allow me to continue live in my apartment in Sufferbuying but still take an (initial) on site job in another city without having to manage to find an apartment in another town, at the expense of some mental power and need to change my views at bit.

So next time I will speak to an employer or potential contractor, if they say I must be present at the site, I will not longer turn down the offer, but instead ask if it is possible if the contractor/customer are able to offer temporary accommondation or commuting solutions for me so I can take the job but be there initially and regulary at some time, altough it means some regular travelling time.

I think a solution in which I could stay in Sufferbuying but in the two first week, live in an accomondation the company offer and then work remotely from suffferbuying but get to there two days a week. It is lot of travel, but I think I have to realize I have to work harder for money than now, because I cant just stay home all the time, I need to get out. But instead it will give me better finances so I can pay off my debts and collect savings.

As such solution would demand more mentally so I have to give up other mental challenging things such other own projects so I get time and energy for sleep, but I feel in that case I've done enough with own projects as I've shown my proof and now consolidate my interest with that job and what it brings aside for me, with less financial worrying in exchange.

This solution requires an opportunity with an contractor/employer that is open for it off course.

But as I can't get any other kind of help, I will still continue study and live on study loan during spring and I've now secured admission onto two new courses that will fill up 75% study.

I will off course take them although I might get another offer, as a life line because my finances would crash otherwise and I cannot get any other kind of benefit without too big consequences for me due to my situation with my company.

The ability to find the solution between staying in Sufferbuying but still take partial on site commitment on companies and partial remotely and not moving completely was one of the solutions that lead me to the success in 2020s with job and fixed finances!

Door 8 of 24: Certify the way to a job

The insight behind today's door that helped me to get into success in the 2020s is the possibility of online certifications!

After another opportunity was delayed just only days before it was to be started, I felt I had to find new ways. I stumbled upon the possibility of getting certifications for knowledge within my field.

I remember from secondary school that teacher told us that especially Microsoft certifications could have a lot of weight when applying for some jobs.

Background

There is only quirk - they cost a bit. But with my royalty and the annual closings approaching, I should make use of the last days of the year to make investments before the year ends, because it would reduce the taxable amount. That is good since I have study loan and too big profit from the company might make me liable to pay back my study loan and benefits, so I should spend a little.

One of my hobby now is to read newspapers from the 90s. The society wasn't so much better than it was today. Sick people was denied or capped on their benefits, rules become stricter, lot of crime, public facilities cut down their services, uncertainty in the markets and so on, but the different is that in the past we read the newspaper in the morning, today we are flooded with news, not to mention all fake news on social medias. It creates frustration.

But one thing I see in the ads in the issues at the end of the year was the funny term "Bokslutsbil" (Closing balance cars). The car reseller want companies to buy expensive cars because they can deprecate one year on the purchase value already the current year or the whole if the value of the asset is lower or the lifetime of usage is lower than 3 years legally according to Swedish tax laws.

It can mean lot of money in lower tax.

For me it is the same so my plan is to put some money into periodization fund but also purchase the voucher to a Google Mobile Web Development Specialist certification, which if passed, would get me a valuable certification to put on my resume issued by Google which is valid for three years, which is a good merit, but also during that time feature my name and contact details in Google's own registry of certified developers which could mean a new way to get commitment. The price is not astronomical - about 149 USD - it is cheap for a such powerful certificate when comparing what it could mean for my career. 

However, when I search about it, there is mixed opinions about if it would help to get new commitments, but I assume it would not hurt, and on forums people mostly writes if it are bad I think, and I think that more also applies for more obscure certificates but Google is very serious when looking for remote commitments. Google's certification is great - agencies can certify . their ads services.

This would be a great Christmas gift to myself, and I will focus on it.

This could so be the 2019 successor to Spotify interest in 2009 because it covers the concern on getting feature on a good company, working with fast rendering engine and learn about it (The course covers that about rendering engine!). PWA can be great responsive as native app if it done correctly like service workers and more.

Door 4 of 24: Deferred Gratisfaction - The Line of Mental Credit to overcome abstinence in lack of mental funds

Behind the forth door in this special kind of advent calendar lies the insight of deferred gratisfaction,  a vital component in the ecosystem that has a central impact of the other areas that have been opened and the upcoming so far.

Before we move on, we will use financial bookkeeping as a metaphore to understand my point, but instead of currency we are talking about mental energy as fund and YIN and Yang as Debit and Credit.

Cravity strikes often occurs in situations with positive or negative affection, eg. an external event that alter moods in either direction, good or bad.

For example, it was not intended to be any eating planned in a subject of getting into the city to fullfill a task such handing in a paper or meeting a friend. But a simple mistake and everything are spoiled.
I get to the meeting but unexpected things occured which caused the person not being there or there was a misunderstanding of the appointment. The problem that arise now is that a certain amount of mental energy has been invested in getting to the appointment, but the desired reward did never be fullfilled. The transaction of investing mental energy (getting there) (YIN) in exchange of the reward of the meeting (YANG) was interrupted and the booking does not balance, you are on a YIN value.

Account	Yin	Yang
Mental energy		280
Getting to the appointment	280
Desired reward		280
Accumulated Reward	ERROR
Balance	280	560

ERROR: YANG exceed with 280

The transaction is invalid, and the system get an overdraft. In order to correct this, the system need to take a loan due to low liquidity, and the loan is called sweet food.

The new transaction now looks like this

280

Account	Yin	Yang
Mental energy		280
Getting to the appointment	280
Desired reward		280
Accumulated Reward	ERROR
Health risk (Debt)		280
Enjoyment (Fast Food)	560
Balance	840	840

As you see, the loan puts additional strain with its interest. This is like using a high fee overdraft to cover the suddent inbalance, with puts big strain on the company's future finances and decreased credit worth.

Delayed gratisfaction as a mental line of checking account credit 

Many companies has a checking credit connected to their checking account, which might have a significant lower interest rate than the hefty overdraft fees, which can help survive the expenses while the reward (income) are deferred so the company doesn't have to be late with payments or take expensive loans.

Wikipedia states strategies for increasing self control such directing attention to competeting rewards such focusing on other stimulis to defer the desire of rewards. 

Aquafulness, which was initially developed as a solution to restore supply of aquatic harmony that was blocked by the fungal crisis, has been pointed out as a potential candidate for a such strategy to defer gratisfaction, as that meditative aquatic stimuli could act as a competetiting reward, as it would be a kind of 'credit line' with 'funds' to use when the ordinary transaction fails. However, the system has still high upfront costs of pre-seeding before it would actually make a positive ROI.

However, this does not defer the biological response of hunger and craving because the desire for food is a hardware-related concern that is hard to overcome only through this manner. 

In order to defer gratisfaction, a compromise could be a great way, in which both the meditation method and a physical substitute for the cravity desire work together to reimburse the need of unhealthy food. 

In practical, two common ways are presumtive strategies such brushing teeth before going out (the toothpaste aftertaste will provide a 'lock' of the tastebud) and substitutive method such buying bottled water to drink, to stimulate the digestive system, giving double meaning of Aquafulness.

Another factor is the weather and transportation failures. Often a strike is caused by that the weather is cold and it is hard to get back, because the bus has stopped running or takes time to wait for.

Another error that often occurs is that two events interferes with each other. If there is a scheduled appointment at 1 PM, and at the morning went out for fulling another duty, and then realize that its only two hours left before the planned task (which was forgotten before getting out), a return home would be a waste of time, and you will stay out. To spend the time, eating is often a way. This is poor planning.

The road to solution

The resolution of this concern was crucial for making the success of today in AD 2022 a reality as this was a vital component for most of the other insights that made the difference in the life. 

During the four years between 2018 until 2022, we made use of the success of Aquafulness in 2018 and built upon it to extend to more areas just than aquatic seeding. 

One blockbuster was the breaking out from childhood presumptions and bias in favor for new established ways to embrace real life situations. Four years ago, back in 2018, I was still attached to the case that sweet food are the way to celebrate, comfort in various situation. But as I built on the spiritual practice of breaking the habit of dependencies to real life, I believed that, just like how we detached the aquatic income from the physical execution of aquatic life in favor for spiritual provocation of the aquatic seeding, we believe this approach could be taken further, as an identity.

It is all about killing old evil cows that prevents changing core behaviur.

One thinking route is to make indifference of the presence of the reward: If the restaurant (good stimuli) never existed, everything would work. So it must work by not having the restaurant as the desired reward for this situation. Consider the it must work doctrine we dealed with in a previous door.

But as a part of the decision tree also is controlled by biological means such blood sugar and so on, we cannot only rely on mental stuff, but also on the coordination of the tasks.

A situation of bad habits are often preceded by a chain of bad habits that has caused the poor timing to create the exploit that causes the bad habit. In the example of the meeting that never went, the overdraft of mental energy the earlier days due to other impulses that drains energy (which itself comes from bad self control), which causes poor sleep, causes miscalculation and forgetting stuff, which was the cause of the missed appointment with the exploit as consequence which lead to bad habit. The interaction between different wishes and interest are cruicial.

The bottom line: Interventions on several aspects, both biological, planning and attention are crucial in order to prevent craving strikes.

Door 3 of 24: Gothenburg Apartment on my Wishlist for this Christmas

For this Christmas, I have put getting an rental apartment in Gothenburg on my Wishlist. I don't see any future in Sufferbuying, There is not so much jobs for my qualifications and struggle with finding customers for my company. Music and study loans are my primary incomes but these won't last forever, and I think software engineering is my real path forward, but although I am trying to market myself as a remote freelancer as a way to get occupation in Sufferbuying, the market doesn't really agree with me, Unfortunately, although remote work is getting traction in the tech industry by these days, most employers or contractors want to have the programmers nearby, even if they allow it do remote, just due to the simple reason that software development nowmore are something that is done IN the users operation, not FOR the operation.

So I don't see any other viable options but to relocate to Gothenburg soon, and in the meantime, I am running a sole propriertorship within music, publishing and software development consultation, but the income is to uncertain and low to make it a sustainable living and havet to compensated with freestanding courses with CSN loans and benefit, which adds more struggle as I need . to pass courses, which further complicates the situation as I cannot concentrate enough on the commitments I get which prevent me from making great impression and securing more clients. It is a bad circuit.

Challenges
One challenge when finding apartments in Gothenburg is finding an apartment with facilities such washing machine and driers in the bathroom and don't get chocked by an upcoming renovation that would cause lot of trouble in my life and extreme rent increase.
For the first issue, I think I have to adapt, the luxury of being able to wash and dry clothes in my apartment is a rare luxury and realize think I by the time has to learn how to deal with that task.

But my though is following:

While I live in Lidköping, the dilemma of struggle of not being able to find a decent work, and stick with freelancing consulting and relying on uncertain music incomes and taking freestanding courses with study loan to compensate, my mental "engine" has to work utterly hard for an extreme low efficiency because that I, in this situation, cannot concentrate on what I am best, but spend lot of energy on marketing myself and my products, and being alone, "stuck" in this town feeling like being in jail, I suffering from having the right social net within my reach, because not so much tech people are here, and are expensive and time consuming to get to the places where my contacts live, I feel the only way for me get touch is to spend lot of time on crazy ideas to try to make attention, such writing articles in newspapers, get featured, which drains my mental energy completely and taxes on my personal and company finances heavily due to the high marketing budget I need to have. It feels like I am just falling between my ambitions, "faller mellan stolarna", falling between the chairs, and cannot really get a decent path in none in my ambition. It also gets a bit depressive since I am unable to apply for the jobs that are offered since they are too far away.

On other way I like to have many balls in the air and test new areas such writing books, music, speaking about my disability or so. But the isolation here in Sufferbuying making every action so expensive as I need to travel long distances, and I feel somewhat unsure about the future. The thing above make me overdraft mental energy and overconsume bad kind of food.

Defragmenting the area of operations to unlock more abilities

I believe that if I could move to Gothenburg, I will have a bigger contact need within my reach. In exchange, I would have to make some tradeoff. I might now have to deal with the laundry, but my hope is that the new city will make it easier for me to get to the opportunities and contact net I need to operate my business and/or get an employment. I could now apply for a job, schedule an interview tomorrow and take the tram there in 20 minutes. By that, less mental energy are consumed, and I feel more confident, so I can relax a bit of my other stuff I struggling with, so I free up mental energy, which I can use to tackle the new challenges I face as I now live in Gothenburg and have to deal with these things, in exchange for a much easier way for me to advance in my career.

Now it is the opposite, as I don't feel any way to make a living and a steady career here and unable to find work, and have to live with part time business and taking study loan, I have to spend my mental energy on so much different tasks in this temporary solution just to survive. Study two courses, trying to secure temporary commitment for my company, hoping my songs will continue to spin on the playlist, spend lot of time to market myself to get new clients. It is too much transactions for me just here. And should I find something big deal I could do for securing a career, my city feels like sitting in a jail, I have lot of barriers to breach both financially and physically due to the long distances.

Today, I need to schedule it two weeks ahead, beacuse I need to allocate time, take two trains, go up early. That doesn't work.

And this makes me depressive and drains my motivation so I care less about my living and keeping up with daily tasks such cleaning, brushing teeth and other tasks which could have costly consequences later on.

Door 3: Impact Orientation instead of Entity oriented

Interest and commitment has historically been oriented by previous prejudice about technical definition from childhood rather the content itself.

Examples: Focus on getting on television - instead of what you are doing. The technical aspect of being aired on television has been prioritized before other opportunities and platform that could help better for a cheaper opportunity cost.

Such that fixation to Spotify instead of finding other ways to reach out.

Negative prejudice:

Fixation about the past pain with a person or situation instead of focusing what can be accomplished with the session.


-- The Deus Ex phenomena

Even if something seems to be impossible and prone to fail deliberately and no relief in sight, don't overlook the 'third factor', that something unexpected often happen that helps to resolve the situation.

Such: I am not able to find any job or study and won't have any income after the spring semester ended, and got sick of all stress. But then something unexpected happened, such I got admitted to a course or got a commitment that provided money.

newspaper writes about those where unemployment are immitent and ruins the economy and although all efforts, unable to get job, getting debt and eviction and all struggles make no sense, they end up in payment default and are impossible to get a good life, because of financial ruin.

But it is very rarely this happen that you are unable.

But in order for the deus Ex machina to help you, you must seed for the right positive energy frequences, and that is done through healthier living, saving money and better housekeeping of mental energy.

And being into somewhat messy financial sitautions and uncertainity is a par of successful person life.

If you have got lot of opportunities recently, it is safe to loose because it is a sign that you have reacted a status in which that your reputation and status gives you new ones.
