Embracing Indifference
- True confidence and wealth: A confident man doesn’t need to prove himself, and a rich woman doesn’t need to convince others of her wealth.
- Paradox of desire: The desire for more positive experiences can be a negative experience, while accepting negative experiences can be positive.
Finding Meaning and Purpose
- Don’t seek happiness: You’ll never be happy if you constantly search for what happiness consists of.
- Don’t seek life’s meaning: You’ll never live if you’re always looking for the meaning of life.
- Give a f*ck about something: Not giving a f*ck about adversity means giving a f*ck about something more important.
Self-Awareness and Personal Growth
- Self-awareness is layered: Like an onion, self-awareness has multiple layers, and peeling them back can be emotional.
- Appreciate struggles: One day, you’ll look back on struggles as beautiful experiences.
- Take responsibility: With great power comes great responsibility.
Action and Motivation
- Do or don’t: There’s no “how” – just take action or don’t.
- Murphy’s Law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
- Action causes motivation: Action isn’t just the effect of motivation; it’s also the cause.
Fear and Mortality
- Fear of death: The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
- Live fully: A person who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
