A honey badgers meeting of the minds… or how not to give a fuck!

Dear honey badgers,

Let’s all stop giving a fuck, shall we???

HOW TO NOT GIVE A FUCK IS THE PROBLEM-FREE PHILOSOPHY THAT ADVOCATES FOR REPLACING UNPRODUCTIVE EMOTIONS WITH ACQUIRED SELF-KNOWLEDGE, AND FEARLESS PURSUIT OF RATIONALLY DERIVED AMBITIONS AND VIRTUES AS ONE’S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE.

1. Meditate.  Seriously.  Do it at home, do it in public.  Just do it.  Stop thinking.  Pretend you’re Elizabeth Gilbert and this is your Eat, Pray, Love.  NOW PRAY!
2. Someone is always judging you.  Even right now.  Someone wiser than me said some variation of this one time:  What people think of you isn’t your flaw, it’s theirs.
3. Say yes.  Just say yes to whatever and be spontaneous especially if you’re tired and have work to do.   Say yes to one more glass, to dessert, to that date, to that vacation.  Say yes!
4. Remember you’re just one person on a huge planet in a galaxy with many other planets in a universe with many many galaxies in a solar system with many many universes.  PANIC ATTACK, WE’RE TINY!      
5. Do something that scares you.  Share your feelings, take that trip, sign up for that class, swim with sharks.  Scare yourself.
6. If you are reading this, it means you have internet which means you’re doing better than most of the world.  You’re grateful.
7. Expectations are the right hand of disappointment.  Stop having them and just let the moment be extraordinary!
8. Remember that you’re going to die.  TRUTH.  Sorry not sorry!
9. Stop playing games with yourself and others.  (unless they are fun ones like Cards Against Humanity)
10. Remember what is important.  And what isn’t.  And maybe ask yourself, will this matter is 5 days, 5 months, 5 years?  Pretty sure we can just not give a fuck about that.
