Purify what sustains you

In this episode, I delve into the concept of “purifying what sustains you”. It is essentially the act of leveling up what you do in your free time to be both better for you and for the world in the long term. Engaging in this act means different things to different people, because everyone is at a different level of development, and the goal is to become a slightly better future you. It is a slight adjustment today, for a slightly better tomorrow, and therefore, it depends on where you are today. The alternative is to simply stay where you are, and let the stagnation and degradation continue until you die.

Purifying what sustains you is more sustainable (no pun intended) than simply trying to go from zero to one hundred, where one tries to make every aspect of their life better instantaneously, and then burns out and ends up right where they started or worse. Purifying what sustains you is a lifelong process of slowly improving one’s habits and behavior to exist more in “the mode of goodness”.
