The health consciousness stuff has gone massively overboard. People walking around with bands tracking their vital signs every second of the day like they’re astronauts on the ISS. Treating alcohol or sugar like it’ll kill them if they look at it. Tracking their sleep. Counting their steps. It’s possible to live a healthy life without being an obsessive, paranoid lunatic. You’re gonna die either way. In a few decades you’ll be just as dead as the rest of us, if not sooner. Relax a little and live your life while you still can.
The biggest cheat code on the planet is internalizing that nobody cares about your life...People think about you for one second and then think about themselves again. So you might as well do what you want.
Underrated life skill: Making people feel important. Put your phone away. Listen closely. Ask thoughtful questions. Remember details. Remember names. Be fully present. The ability to make someone feel seen is one of the rarest and most valuable skills. And it's not that hard.
