Basically, these are the things I don’t believe in anymore:
1. Things, substances and even people will make me happy
This is a tricky one because this one can still sneak up on you if you’re not paying attention and freak the shit out of you.
2. Mistakes
If you believe that something you’ve done is a mistake, you are only hurting yourself. Mistakes = Regret. We make choices. If the choices don’t turn out like you want, they become learning experiences. Figure out what you have learned rather than regretting what you’ve done.
3. Expectations
We can never control or predict what people will do so, for me, having expectations of people or situations only leads to disappointment and frustration.
4. Problems are unique
My problems are the world’s problems. They are not special. I like to think of us like a bunch of ants being looked at through a scientists telescope.
5. Anything will lead to my ultimate happiness
I only need to act on my passions so my life follows an unknown path with twists and turns and hills and valleys and so my life is an adventurous journey of a million miles rather than trip around the block to the 7-11.
6. I know the answers
What’s right for me is not always right for anyone else. What’s right for someone else, depends on their own experiences and perspectives.
