Where Does The Inverted Curve Apply?
- Control- The more we accept our feelings and impulses instead of controlling them, the more we’re able to direct and process them.
- Freedom- It’s only by limiting ourselves–by choosing and committing to certain things in life–that we truly exercise our freedom.
- Happiness- Trying to be happy makes us less happy. Accepting unhappiness makes us happy.
- Security- Being comfortable with uncertainty is what allows us to feel secure.
- Love- The more we try to make others love and accept us, the less they will, and the less we will love and accept ourselves.
