Cultivating the skill to piss on life is super duper necessary
EXAMPLE:
You hit your hand with the axe while chopping wood.
Instead of "OMG THE BLOOD AAAAA" I suggest making a shit joke
For example "hey I didn't cut off the fingers I use to finger my girl"
Gallows humour.
Misery is shit my friends
Never romanticise unnecessary suffering or struggle
Use your brain and GET OUT FAST
Stay above the fog and be tactically responsible
Pour from FULL cups. Not empty ones

Chopped my hand on accident with an axe earlier today.
Watched it cut through my skin in slow motion.
No pain, no reaction, no cortisol spike.
It was funny.
Very okay👍🏻
Fear is demonised as some big bad wolf that's gonna eat you.
To that I say, calm down. If most/ all of your big moments were preceded by fear, broski, get fear a chair, a beer, and tell it to sit down.
Accept fear as part of yourself, and part of the ride.
Life is just a ride.
