Guys, it's about time we all got real with each other, the world is way too cruel.
The world doesn't revolve around any single one of us, that's why the sun is there.
YOU ARE FREE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, IF IT'S NOT YOURS DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
It's as simple as that. Wow, what a philosophy. How does that work, you ask?
Step 1: Live and Let Live
Here you go, this is where it starts. If what somebody is doing doesn't directly affect you in anyway, why oh why are you so worried about it. Go about your own business. You'll be happier.
Step 2: Be Chill
Literally nothing gets done if you are constantly blowing up at people. Also people aren't going to like you, at all. For real, just chill out. If this is too difficult, consult your local physician to see if they have any sort of chill pill that your insurance will cover. Let things wash over you, not everything needs a reaction.
Step 3: If it's not yours, leave it alone.
This means anything. Opinions? You don't have to worry about anybody's opinions but your own. Problems? I'm sure we all have enough problems of our own, we don't really need to take it upon ourselves to deal with everybody else's. Business? I'm telling you, if you just worry about yours, you'll see a huge change.
Step 4: Stop the gossip train.
Just stop. It's not even fun anymore. Nobody cares if Ashley slept with Mike, or Shane was supposedly caught out with his ex. Bring the bullshit to a halt.
Step 5: Don't be an asshole.
Really, what is so appealing about being an asshole? There is definitely a difference between sticking up for yourself and just beating down on somebody to beat down on somebody.
Step 6: The world owes you absolutely nothing.
It was here first, deal with it.
Step 7: Be nice.
It's not going to kill you, I promise.
Step 8: Keep it to yourself.
Yeah, that mean comment you were going to make about that teenager's bright green hair. That comment you were going to make about that person's body odor. Oh yeah, and that comment that you were going to make about that person's big ass. Trust me, it's not worth it. This circles us back to step 5: don't be an asshole. Just don't do it.
Step 9: Love your own life.
You're going to be happier after you improve your own life than you will be if you ruin somebody else's life. Just sayin'.
Step 10: Help others.
Help others to help them, not so that you have something to hang over their heads when you will eventually need help. Help people because it's the decent thing to do. Help people because everybody is struggling in this cruel world.
There you go, a philosophy for a happier life.
