There’s two men I know
That I respect more than most
With two different approaches
One smokes ice
One smokes weed
One tries his guts out
And the other barely lifts a finger
Both are kings of their scene
And I wonder which of them
Gets it right
Gets the most out of life
And it raises the question
Is life about letting go
Or sinking your teeth in
Was Buddha a genius?
Or are some merely worshiping
A man that did nothing
Is the tradie putting food on the table
Or the office worker getting home
To be king of this castle
Winning at life
Or merely running the treadmill
Working on a heart attack
For me I’ll try
To work fast because
I’m cultivating effortlessness
I want to get a lot done
But have time to smell the roses
And maybe I can balance the two approaches
To be the right man in the right place at the right time
Forever to infinity

The end result of endless discussion with a Jung loving friend is basically the idea of bringing the right attitude and behavior to the unique nature of every situation. There’s no one size fits all way of acting instead we should focus in being in harmony with our surroundings and be flexible and dynamic as our world evolves and changes.
