chawis :

everything is a win when the goal is to experience 🪷

bella jolie :

As Nietzsche said… amor fati… love everything that happens to you…this single mindset has changed my life

louisecapaldi :

6 months of OCD exposure therapy did more for me than 4 years of regular therapy

mistakeboi_ :

realizing "i wanted to be anywhere but here" never works because "here" has a tendency to be wherever you are

Bleepblorp :

Almost dying and being sick for a long time is really the shortcut to this realization!

The Fayo 🌟 :

It’s the cliiiimmmbbbb

Brittany :

“I love struggling actually, it makes me feel alive” has been UNSHAKABLE to me, I have thought about it almost everyday since hearing it. Someone else also mentioned Adam Sandlers movie “click”, and yeah,,, actually, yeah.

Root of all evil is DESIRE. once you get what you want, your wants shift. Rinse and repeat.

Dove Cameron :

yes :)

GoldenGirl27 :

Thank you for the reminder. It’s like that “wash the dish to wash the dish, not to get it clean”

Theo :

Like Janet said from the good place “humans only live 80 years and they spend so much of it just waiting for things to end”

sunny 🫀 :

yk i started this essay on ×2 speed and im about maybe 20 seconds in and i already brought it back to regular speed bc yeah i don't have to speed through my free time 😭

Mickie II COMMS OPEN II :

As someone who also has OCD and did intensive therapy, my favorite way to summarize radical acceptance is “It is what it is”

tiger_of_my_eye :

I think grade school plays a big part in this mindset growing up. We're trained to create goals and achieve them as much and as quickly as we can. I think that's why a lot of people myself included felt aimless when finishing school. This unrealistic structure is lost and we're left unsure what to do without something that used to be a constant in our lives.

Katie :

Oh man I thought I was weird or not ambitious enough because I am very content in my life and have very little “goals”. I have a cute apartment I can afford, with my full time barista job that I like. Friends and family that I love. I really just be enjoying life and wanting to just experience more life as my “goals” maybe I’ve been tapped into this without even realizing!

Bp :

Life is coming from you not at you

Vanessa 🏳️‍🌈 :

life is to be lived

As Stephen Colbert says, “you have to love it all.”

Literally everything Ⓐ :

“The gold medal just becomes weight around your neck as you skate” man I need to feel like this more

user2339610803941 :

I adored this. So many people waste so much of their lives waiting for “the good bit.” None of it is inherently good or bad, it’s all just equally part of it

user5334822342136 :

This is beautiful but I also wonder if this mindset is a privilege now because of the capitalism.

Maile 🌈 :

Remember when Phoebe Bridgers said “I know whatever happens to me, I know it’s for the better”

upsetvegetable :

If money wasn’t a thing, I’d love to just exist and have a simple life working some menial job that I love with people that are fun to be around

úna blue 🌀⏳🥚 :

i love this. but also, it feels impossible, due to need to survive in capitalism. i have autism and repetitive burnout has made work pure suffering, and all other time is spent trying to recover. the journey, every waking moment is suffering.
