I often dream of living like a Hobbit. A life in which the only thing I have to worry about is which meal comes next, or in which I only have to follow a wizard and a bunch of dwarves on an adventure.
But in reality, I am very good at worrying about almost everything. Instead of living care-free, I am always planning, strategizing and going over all the possible scenarios that life can throw at me. And when reality doesn't match my plans, I get upset and stressed out.
In this podcast, I share an idea I found in Thomas Salerno's latest blog about the difference between architects and gardeners that helped me look at my life in a different way. You can read his blog here: https://thomasjsalerno.substack.com/p/a-garden-of-words
