“If you’re more passionate about founding a business than the business itself, you can fall into a ten year trap. Better to stay emotionally unattached and select the best opportunity that arises. Applies to relationships too.”Naval Ravikant
In the business world, being attached to the idea of starting a business rather than focusing on the actual business can lead to wasted time and resources. Similarly, fixating on the idea of a perfect partner instead of valuing the connection you have with someone can lead to unhappiness. For example, if someone constantly dreams about the ideal partner they think they should have, they might miss out on the opportunity to build a fulfilling relationship with someone who is right in front of them.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
The verse encourages believers to set their minds on things above, not on earthly things. This aligns with the Stoic idea of staying emotionally unattached and focusing on selecting the best opportunity that arises in business or relationships, rather than being fixated on personal desires or expectations.
