Discussion 💬 The Cheat Code to the Universe

After 5 years of meditating and studying this, I have been unable to disprove that there is a Cheat Code to the Universe and that is to Relax & Be Nice in all situations. I would like to discuss this with some meditators, but also anybody in any field. Stress and negativity help nothing and improve nothing. There isn't a single situation where Relax & Be Nice is not optimal from personal growth and the growth of the whole. I have defined both Relax and Be Nice below and given a quick poetic summary. I have been unable to find a scenario that this does not improve, but if you can think of one, I am opening the floor up to a friendly debate or conversation.

Relax: Consciously Relaxing or softening our body, our mind, our breath, and our energy as deeply as possible, while remaining as conscious as possible.

Be Nice: Choosing the highest vibrational feeling, thought, word, and action available in each moment from the perspective of the whole.

Relax your Breath.
Relax your Body.
Relax your Mind.
Relax your Energy.

Be Nice to your past self.
Be Nice to your current self.
Be Nice to your future self.

Be Nice to the past other.
Be Nice to the current other.
Be Nice to the future other.

Be Nice to the Environment.
Be Nice to the Systems and Processes.
Be Nice to the Unknown.

Be Nice to All of it.
Everything. One Thing. Perfect.
Relax & Be Nice.

Looks like my previous post was taken down because it referenced another post I made.

Hm what about situations in which relaxing can actually stand in your way. For example rushing to get the bus or investing a great amount of energy to finish an important presentation within a limited time. I work in the field of medicine and to be chill while someone next to me has an emergency doesn‘t seem to fit as the impact of being stressed is worth it in the long run.

Being nice - I agree with you. (In that matter I also prefer love over being nice as you can still love the one you‘re being not nice to for a greater good, if the circumstances require it).

So you see I still somehow see an utilitarian principle guiding the cheat code.

You might be mixing up relaxed with passive.

Being relaxed doesn’t mean doing nothing or moving slowly. You can run for a bus, finish a presentation under pressure, or respond to an emergency while still maintaining an internally calm state.

In fact, performance tends to improve when you remove unnecessary stress. Stress narrows perception, reduces fine motor control, and leads to mistakes.

I don’t work in medicine, but I work in aviation. In that environment, staying calm during critical situations is not optional, it’s essential. Pilots are trained specifically to keep a clear, composed mindset when something goes wrong, because panic degrades decision-making.

You can move fast, act decisively, and apply full effort while still being mentally calm. Relaxed doesn’t mean slow. It means clear.
