Don't Make Your Life Worse

Monday Musings 9-4-23

My mantra this week:

I don’t need to make my life worse.

I just moved into a new house this week.

Moving sucks.

Building cheap furniture. Not knowing where the lightswitches are. Having to see your bank account drain in order to buy one-off essentials and random items.

And on top of that, my Mattress hasn’t arrived. I’ve been sleeping on a shitty couch for the past couple of days.

And I could get annoyed and upset and complain and shake my fist at the world.

But honestly - I won’t.

I choose not to let tiny shit affect me.

I choose not to let minor inconveniences derail me.

There’s no reason to make your life worse by thinking how awful your circumstances may be.

Accept them. Move on.

Continue living.

As someone very interested in psychedelics, meditation, spirituality, Near Death Experiences, and Self-Development, this podcast encapsulated a LOT of Great Ideas.

Main Takeaway: Growth is on the other side of uncertainty.

People who listen to House music are hotter, funnier, and have more fun than anyone else.

I don’t make the rules.

Sci-Fi but grounded in realism.

Please watch it. I know it’s on Apple TV and not everyone has that - so that pirate it elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and watch this. It is life-changing. So fucking good. Here’s the trailer
