#LifeLesson - Here are some key points from "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***" by Mark Manson:
- Stop trying to be happy all the time. Instead, focus on your values and what you truly care about, even if it causes discomfort or pain.
- Not giving a f*** about everything frees you to focus on the things that truly matter in your life.
- Accepting that life is inherently difficult and painful can actually make it easier to handle.
- Our problems often stem from trying to avoid or escape them, rather than facing them head-on.
- Being honest about your flaws and shortcomings can actually bring you closer to people than pretending to be perfect.
- Don't take yourself or life too seriously- humor can be a powerful tool for coping with challenges.
- Identify your core values and principles, and use them to make decisions and guide your actions.
- Gratefulness and appreciation can help counterbalance the negativity and challenges of life.
- Accepting responsibility for your problems and mistakes can empower you to change them.
- Embrace your own mortality and the shortness of life- it can motivate you to make the most of your time.
