Any advice you’ve ever heard or given. I linked a great video that I think would be my answer, combined with the “stop caring what other people think about you” and “comparison is the thief of joy” comments below. Just do stuff that you wanna do, don’t compare and don’t care what others say. It’s awesome advice.

    IDK about advice per say but it kinda fits. My favorite quote from rocky.

    “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward."

    Don’t play rigged games.

    Do what you think is right, but actually take some time to think about if it’s right or just feels right.

    Being right and being wrong feel the exact same until challenged by facts, challenge your own beliefs, use the Socratic method if you need a starting point.

        huh, good observation - my instant thought was casinos and “climbing the corporate ladders”

        (I fully disagree with not voting but your point still stands)

    “Treat others as you would have them treat you” is garbage, utter fucking trash

    instead of the shitass golden rule, I prefer the platinum rule: “Treat others how they want to be treated”

    When dropping into a half pipe, overcommit the lean. The last thing you want is to slip over backwards. Slipping forwards is fine, you just might have to roll.

    I hate this advice, but because its true for all tasks also:
    “You don’t need to wait til 1:45 to start studying.”
    So just start at 1:32:30.

    Never loan anyone anything unless you’re willing to give it to them, because that could well turn out to be exactly what you’re doing.

    Try to care less each day about what others think of you. I don’t mean be uncivil or degenerate per se but rather try to say yes to yourself more and less to others until you feel there’s a better balance. People care way to much about what others think about them at massive cost to themselves and its not healthy or actually even desireable.

    The person who is most authentic and self-nourished will always win, sort of an extension to the notion that the person who cares the least has the most power. Relationships come and go but you gotta learn to live with and as you and to chase only what you know in your heart to be correct for you

          People in general pay you very little mind, even people who care about you. it’s called the spotlight effect.

            I only mean that most of the time, the way people make themselves subservient to preserve relationships that aren’t organic or sustainable is moot anyway cuz they’ll can your ass the minute there’s any problem or inconvenience or reciprocity expected. Better to be proactive and get ahead of it by making better choices for yourself and turning down worse options now when you have discretion and someone isn’t forcing your move

    “Don’t compare yourself to others.” Everyone develops at their own pace. This also helps in building a good self-esteem.
