Be completely honest with yourself.
A rich person doesn't need to keep reminding themselves that they are rich.
Giving too many f*cks is bad for your mental health.
Be comfortable being different.
The avoidance of struggle is to struggle.
You are going to die soon.
Pick what matters to you based upon personal values. Say f*ck it to everything that doesn't matter to you in life.
If you reserve your f*cks for only the things that matter, you'll perform better on what's important.
Have meaningful things to give your f*cks about.
Maturity is learning to only give a f*ck about what is f*ckworthy.
Don't try.
You get to choose what to give a f*ck about.
There is no value in suffering when it is done without purpose.
Happiness occurs when solving problems you enjoy having.
Solve problems. Be happy.
What pain do you want in your life?
Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for.
Our struggles determine our success.
People that become great at something become great because they understand they are not already great.
The vast majority of your life will be average and not noteworthy and that is okay. The pressure to be the next big thing will be lifted off your back.
You will have a growing appreciation for life's basic experiences. Basic friendship, creating something, helping a person in need, reading a good book, laughing with someone you care about.
It's the ordinary things that actually matter.
For what higher purpose are you suffering.
Self-awareness is an onion. There are multiple layers and the more you pull back, you will start crying.
This is why self-awareness questions are important because they illuminate what we consider success or failure.
Honest self-questioning is difficult and requires asking questions that are difficult to answer. The more uncomfortable the answer the more true it is.
One day, the years of struggle will strike you as the most precious.
Good values are reality based, socially constructive, immediate, and controllable.
Bad values are superstitious, socially destructive, not immediate, or controllable.
Honesty is a good value, popularity is a bad value.
Prioritize better values and things to give a f*ck about.
You are 100% responsible for everything in life.
We don't always control what happens but we control how we interpret what happens.
Chip away at what you are doing wrong today so you can do a little less wrong tomorrow.
Happiness comes from caring about something bigger than yourself.
Everyone is great already, whether we realize it or not.
We are great because we continue to choose what to give a f*ck about.
