Find out what you really want by imagining yourself alone on the planet.

If you want something just because others don’t have it, and this brings you joy, isn’t that a kind of sickness? This joy springs from another’s deprivation. So instead, find out what it is that you really want by imagining being alone on the planet. If you do this exercise every day, you will become aligned with your true life longings, not the karma mess that you believe you are.

1. Sit down for five minutes and imagine your life if there was no one else on the planet.
   There is no one to compare yourself with.

2. Answer these questions:
   What really matters to you if there are no external critics or appreciation?
   What do you really want for yourself?
