No matter how insurmountable a task may seem--it's comforting to know that it can be made less & less overwhelming by chipping away at it with a couple of minutes of hard work every day. It's one of those things that's good to remind yourself of every now and then ^_^.
of course
1) don’t base your identity around success; learn to value yourself outside of how good you are at something
2) find something you naturally gravitate towards and chase it wholeheartedly
3) be kind to yourself, especially about things outside of your control
The reason genuine happiness is so attractive is that in order to be genuinely happy you have to have integrity which means you don’t lie to yourself which means you don’t lie to others either
most players in the FGC suffer heavily from spotlight effect. I promise you no one is watching you that closely. no one cares if you go on a ranked loss streak or have a bad tournament or change mains. it doesn't really matter.
focus on yourself ego and shame free
I don’t think it’s a tragedy if you don’t contribute anything “important” to the world; I do think it’s a tragedy if you don’t enjoy your life
& I also believe that someone who devote themselves to the wholesome, wholehearted enjoyment of their life will necessarily produce something of importance to the world, sooner or later, whether that’s a moving work of pure expression, or simply loving relationships with those around them
so what I am trying to say here is that if you are sacrificing enjoyment for “impact” or “meaning”, consider whether that could be reversed
in Dante’s Divine Comedy, the highest circle is composed of angels circling around God in pure contemplation. this was the holiest of holies: to rejoice in pure Being, to simply love what is
perhaps that is the greatest service you could achieve: to love the world as it is. and to know that love is never a passive act: if you love the world earnestly, you will be moved to action, and that action will be more aligned & impactful than any plan you devise within your logical mind
you don’t have to be good. you don’t have to be important. you don’t have to save humanity or find your mission or fulfill your potential. you can simply love the world, and trust that your love will guide you forward
@WistfulHopes It's kind of refreshing to see a fighting game with minimal zoom ins, screen freezes, & cinematics. Here's hoping it stays in that direction 👍
