@JosipFCB93 No one is “a little bit pregnant”—you either are or you aren’t. The same goes for offside. You’re either offside or you’re onside. It doesn’t matter if it’s by an inch or by a mile.

how much you enjoy a 1 hour drive is a pretty good proxy metric for the quality of your life

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:

“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Take my word for it, if you stay consistent on a path that you are really good at and has clearly shown you some results, you will “always” win big in the end, what will likely throw you off is how long you need to wait.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

seeing yourself slowly get better at something you never thought you'd be good at has to be one of the best feelings ever

[Mingu @lowgradef]

In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.

1. Keep your energy level at “unbothered.” No matter the situation you find yourself in, be calm. It helps you think of solutions faster.

2. Except they are disrespecting you, when someone raises their voice, lower yours. The lower voice is the one with class. Empty vessels make the loudest noise.

3. If someone tries to guilt-trip you, take a deep breath and say, “You’ll be alright.”

4. Always act like you have been there before. A big win, small win, someone takes you out, you find a new update—act like you have been there before.

5. Take your time before responding to anyone. Think clearly and speak on it once.

6. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

7. When you enter a room, don’t scan for who’s watching you. Look straight ahead and pick your own seat.

8. In any settings, always mind your business. If they don’t involve you in a conversation, don’t involve yourself. Eavesdropping is allowed, but don’t join them.

9. Don’t talk too much. Nothing reduces your steeze more than too much talk. The more you talk, the more likely you are to say nonsense.

10. When someone pulls away, match their distance, not their drama.

11. Never involve yourself in a physical fight. It is not worth it.

12. Resist the urge to shalaye. Overexplaining yourself, especially to strangers, reduces your steeze.

13. When you are in public, show no visible reaction when you receive news (good or bad). Control your face until you leave that premises.

14. Don’t try so hard to be noticed in any settings. Matter of fact, the most reserved person in a room is the most noticed and admired one.

15. If you notice someone is arguing to be right instead of to learn, stop indulging them immediately. Let them believe they are right. You have nothing to prove to them.

You have to stop treating it like a performance where you are trying to become the best version of yourself. It is not theatre. It is not self transformation day after day. You do it the way you brush your teeth. It is not about liking or disliking it. It is simply something you do.

The moment you frame working out as a heroic arc, you introduce emotion into it. Motivation, inspiration, identity, self judgment. That makes it unstable. Some days you will feel like the protagonist. Most days you will not.
But brushing your teeth requires no identity. No inspiration. No self analysis.

It is maintenance. When exercise becomes maintenance rather than self-improvement theatre, it becomes lighter. Less ego. Less pressure. Less evaluation.

[PS @dostoevesque]

There’s no need to be afraid of any scenario in life, because it isn’t personal and it isn't the first time some has found themselves in such a scenario. It’s structural. The ego wants dramatic suffering. It wants its pain to be mythic. But most suffering is procedural. It’s part of the design of being alive.

You are not uniquely cursed. You are not cosmically targeted. You are simply next in line. Because if your problem is not divinely customized, then it is ordinary. And if it is ordinary, it is survivable. Millions before you have stood in this same queue. They felt the same dread. They thought it was the end. It wasn’t.

someone once told me “emotional intelligence is the discipline of sitting with a feeling long enough to understand it before you hand it to someone else” and that honestly changed how i move.
