Ignorance is bliss. It's all about not taking the redpill. Unfortunately a lot of people who use forums like misc and Reddit probably took it sometime in the last several years.

sun exposure (being outdoors)
vitamin D levels

preferably some kind of sun-exposure form of exercise.... (biking, hiking, running, all in the sun)

any other "thing" is just going to be a dead end for u.

Look at tradies.... Sun all day, and feeling obscene levels of euphoria over a losing scratch-off ticket and a monster.

To this day I don't understand how a parent could do that and it took me until the last few years to really clean my life up. Ended up in a lot of bad places looking for something the world couldn't give, but that was kind of the catalyst that kicked it off. Thought I found something that could fix it when I got married the first time around but a car accident put an end to that one. Still fight off some addiction issues and chase away lots of negative thoughts but to be perfectly honest my life is great if I sit back and appreciate what I have, so I try to do that a lot.

Not much gets accomplished if I let the past overtake today though.

no clue, but just lmao if you aren't eating a diet rich in selenium and omega fatty acids

the former because the brain is essentially a biological computer built on electrical signals, and selenium is a primary component of traditional semiconductor technology, so it could be theorized its necessary for psychological balance

the latter because the brain is primarily made up of fats, so it needs a constant influx of these essential fatty acids to conduct electrical signals optimally

looking back at my own life, the periods of time I had the most sun exposure are always the best.

Nothing else matters, you can get fired, car breaks down, etc etc..... still happy because you had a couple hours poolside a few days the previous week.

I'd rather die aesthetically suncel at 50 than live 1000 years as a palecel.

you can live a day as a lion, or a lifetime as a mouse.

Focus on positive things and remove negative influences. News, politics, and social media all use fear, uncertainty and doubt to maximize ad revenue. Cutting those out can be a big help.

It's people who don't give a fuk. Some already have tons of money, others have found a way to manipulate their way through life.

The feeling of freedom. It's a good thing. I typically start feeling this way at like day 8-10 of a vacation. Most Americans never travel long enough to experience it.

family values
stable, normal, crime-free society
relative status
fitness
charity
moral integrity
prayer/meditation/natural grounding
socioeconomic health

service to a higher order, first, and pleasure as a consequence (The opposite of kicking back with a brew, binging on dopamine indulgences, false macho b.s. posturing or scamming opportunistically. This involves serving a purpose, taking relief from order, pleasure naturally without overindulgence, and genuine status grounded in social integrity.)

Most people seem so deeply the opposite of this they might as well be locked up away from society in a tradie wasteland.

Shakespeare said it best "life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more"


whenever i start to feel unhappy/stressed i remember that line and it always relaxes me. accepting the absurdity of life is key to being happy

Even if it's real then can they possibly experience true happiness? If that's your default setting then when something worth being happy about comes along it's the same feeling as everything else. It would be impossible to appreciate

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Like yeah you can probably bang lots of chicks and be feared and respected by living life a certain way, but guarantee you that you will be miserable and alone when you're older.

You basically have to look at your self as a part of the whole, so you eventually learn to be happy with what you've been given and get on with just living life.

If you were "always happy" that would become the default / baseline starting point, so how would you feel REAL happiness if you were already always happy?
Before I got married I would get up and play my guitar, first thing, sometimes on the porch at sunrise. I got a girlfriend and she said "no guitar before coffee." So I had to do that but then it's time to get ready for work, and then I would work literally 16 hours on a truck. We got married and I couldn't play because the babies were sleeping, I had to hide in the basement and play quiet stuff. Then I taught my Son to play and he has great talent and a beautiful voice but then he was relegated to the basement so my Daughter and wife don't get disturbed. he played like 4 instruments but gave up because all the bullcit.

If you want to be happy, delete females from your life. Just jack it and pey when you really need it.
Don't put that on me Ricky Bobby, don't you ever put that on me.
