9 lessons I learned from this Life

9 lessons I learned from this Life 1. Giving too Many Fucks, Fucks Up Your Life Most of us give too many fucks: we care about some celebrity’s new car, our ex-boyfriend’s cute girl, having the latest footwear, and many more trivial things. Little do we know that giving too many fucks has a detrimental effect on our mental health as it makes us focus on having unrealistic and fake things that we might never get. 2. Choose the Things to Give a Fuck About We are wired to care about many things. However, if we want to progress, we must choose to only care about things that add value to our lives. We must stop giving a fuck about useless things such as posting a perfect selfie on Facebook or having the best swag in town. 3. Life is Fucking Full of Problems Never expect to live a life of everlasting happiness because problems will never end. For example, if you are poor, you will have money problems, and if you become rich, you will experience money management problems. Problems never end, they just transform. Therefore, instead of wishing you never had problems, wish you had good problems. 4. You Can Only Be Great by Realizing That You are Fucking Average All folks who became great realized they are average, and for this reason, they continuously improved themselves. Their obsession with improvement resulted in them becoming exceptional in their fields. 5. The Three Fucking Layers of Self-Awareness self-awareness is like an onion with the following three layers that you must peel. * Have a simple understanding of your emotions– Know what makes you happy or sad, and what discourages or encourages you. * Understand the root causes of your emotions. – Deeply analyze the main causes of your current feelings and emotions. * Understand your personal values – Check how you measure success or people’s self-worth. 6. Let Go Your Fucking Idea of Who the Fuck You Are You must let go the beliefs regarding your personality because when you don’t care about who you are, you won’t fear to do the things you must do for you to achieve your goals. For instance, you won’t fear taking risks and failing. 7. You are Fucked If You Wait for Motivation Before You Take Action You might never take action if you need motivation to take action because motivation occurs as a result of action. Action motivates you to take more action because it breeds progress. Always take action even when you feel uninspired and never wait for something to motivate you before you take action. 8. Travel is Fucking Fantastic Travel helps you realize that your cultural values are not the only guidelines on how to live because it exposes you to people who have different values but still live a good life. It makes you re-examine your values, and create good values. 9. You Will Fucking Die One Day ‘Death is the only thing we know with certainty.’ – Mark Manson says Although we always avoid thinking about death, we must always remind ourselves that death is around the corner so that we stop chasing stupid things. Being aware that we are heading towards death also makes us appreciate life and ask ourselves how people will benefit from our short presence on this earth. THE END Which fucking lesson did you love the most?
