Question the emotions

Just because something feels good doesn’t mean it is good. Just because something feels bad doesn’t mean it is bad. Emotions are merely signposts, suggestions that our neurobiology gives us, not commandments. Therefore, we shouldn’t always trust our own emotions. In fact, I believe we should make a habit of questioning them.

No Struggle, No Victory

Accept what you are

  • The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paraparadoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.
  • The more you desperately want to be sexy and desired, the uglier you come to see yourself, regardless of your actual physical appearance.
  • The avoidance of suffering is a form of suffering.
  • To try to avoid pain is to give too many fucks about pain.
