Meaning of Life

By far the best technique to put things into perspective is thinking of death.

Knowing you’re going to die melts away every anxiety, worry, self conscious thoughts, and bad attitudes.

We get so stuck in our habitual responses, we forget to live our movie.

They say, “don’t think like that.”

STUPID.

Of course think like that. How else will you gain gratitude? How else will you play and stay optimistic in the face of adversity?

Only by knowing every single moment here is rented.

It’s a weird trick of the human brain- we’re wired to forget. To take life for granted, get pissed off at dumb unimportant things, and worry about our future as if there is something in it more crucial than living in the NOW.

I’m guilty of it too.

All I ever really think about is my career, ambitions, what I want to build, how I want to succeed.

But in brief moments of clarity, I remind myself- I’m lucky to be here right now. Regardless of what happens, at least I got a movie. Some never get that.

At any moment, we can rewrite the genre of our lives. That’s the point of life.

What makes a great story is largely a good character arc, so evolve. You’re not obligated to stay how you’ve always been, you’re not wired to either.

You’ve been playing wrong.

Let go, and learn to smile at it all.
