Building
Buffers creates the ability to press pause. When you are living on the edge, drawing
breathe is difficult because there are too many moving parts. Life carries on,
and you are forced to carry on with it. Fixed, recurring expenses arise even if
you want to “do nothing”. Waking up in the morning has a price tag. “It takes
all the running you can do, to keep in the same place” says the Red Queen. In
Yoga, Tapas is the practice of austerity. The “warmth, heat, or fire” of doing
something difficult or extra. We possibly get holidays wrong. A few weeks a
year of “better”. If we took Tapasdays, we could see, and get used to, just how
little it is possible to be okay with. To embrace Basic. To discover what “fixed
expenses” are truly necessary. To make sure everyone has those basics. Then, in
those moments when everything needs to stop for a moment, we won’t all fall
down.
