Kindle Notes & Highlights
Your time, energy, and/or money spent should result in greater happiness for you.
I’m telling you, the moment you decide to stop giving a fuck is the moment you start living your best life.
Most of us just poke our heads into the barn every once in a while and never get past the mountain of shit piled up just inside the door, much less do anything about the rest of it. You have to get all the way inside and really fucking own up to it before you have any hope of clearing it out.
The point is, you can only control how WELL you do your job, and how MUCH time and energy you put into it to minimize annoy and maximize happiness.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It is very hard to get fired from a job that you’re doing well. And given all the things you simply have to give a fuck about in order to actually do your job — there must be at least five that you could stop giving a fuck
about and thereby significantly improve your day-to-day life.
Rather than letting that bad juju consume you like a lady praying mantis consumes her lover after sex, just try . . . not giving a fuck.
Say to yourself, It’s just not worth it, and move on.
You must have been fed up with looking at your life as a series of obligations to be met, people to tolerate, and calendar squares to be desperately reshuffled until a blessed wild card in the form of a free afternoon rose to the top.
Two weeks in rehab can be nice and all, but you needn’t get to the end of your rope only to hang yourself with it.
