Don’t Try: Feedback loop from hell
You are constantly bombarded with messages to give a fuck about everything, all the time. Giving too many bad for your mental health. The key to good life is not giving a fuck about more; its giving a fuck about less, giving a fuck about only what is true and immediate and important.
“The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.”
Happiness is a Problem: Disappointment Panda
Happiness is a constant work in progress. It happens by solving the problem. People who enjoy the struggles of a gym are the ones who run marathons and people who enjoy long workweeks are the politics of the corporate ladder to the top of it.
You are not special: Entitlement
If you think you are special it leads to entitlement mentality, Once you accept you are normal, its liberating, and you will be able to enjoy the boring side of life: friendships, reading a book, laughing, creating something.

You are always Choosing:
We cant control what happen to us, but we can certainly choose what it means to us and how we respond to it. Its your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response. The real question is, what are we choosing to give a fuck about? what values are we choosing to base our actions on? what metrics are we choosing to use to measure our life? and are those good choices-good values and good metrics.
Failure is the way forward: Do-it Principle
Failure comes from picking wrong values, and life is about not knowing but doing it anyway, “Action doesn't just happen because of motivation, it causes the motivation” . Like going to the gym don't need a motivation.. if you have been there it will create motivation for next day.
The Importance of saying No:
The only way to achieve a sense of meaning in life is to reject total and boundless freedom and choose instead to commit to something. Like a place, a relationship, or even a belief. You got say NO to numerous distraction to achieve one.
And Then you Die: Mortality
We all gonna a die one day, that is the fact. Reflect on that and then demand yourself saying should you really waste your time doing things you don't like or don't care about?
