I’m obsessed with this
Stop thinking about yourself and take more naps 😴
Seriously, I think the greatest source of unhappiness is unrealistic expectations of yourself … not knowing your limits
Since my child was born I came to realise this.
Caring for that little one is a such a source of happiness, like no other I've experienced before!
As it was described to me, a love outside outside of yourself
I’ve understood this for a long time.
It clicked when I realized that trans people are completely and utterly obsessed with thinking about themselves. And in turn realized how unhealthy and unnatural that way of existence really is.
Whether you think you Ravikan or you Ravikant, you’re right 🫡
Me me me ,mine mine mine ,I I I.
suffering..
We are important and not that big of a deal all at the same time.
Life is amazing in this way.
The more we grow spiritually the more we let go of who we thought we were and step in to who we’ve always been.

Gm, it’s not about you
explains why teenagers are often miserable
HOPECORE HODL
Great point i agree
People at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy are miserable because they are barely surviving. Barely surviving forces you to always think about yourself or die. Self at all times is the most effective way to think to survive and climb up from those bottom rungs
Once your circumstances improve it is disfunctional to continue to think in patterns that are best adapted to another circumstance you are no longer in.
Put simply, this won't make people who are truly suffering happy. It is just the path to stop those unhappy thought processes that are keeping you unhappy once your outside suffering ends.
By the way... Continuing to use thought processes evolved to protect you from a high stress situation once that situation has ended is textbook PTSD.
I think there is more to this statement, The opposite is also true. If you do not consider yourself, You have nothing to give anyone else. The middle line is to do your best for yourself, And accept what you are capable of, And show compassion for others who are capable of less, And to not compare yourself too much to people who are capable of more. Most roles in life are artificial to categorize people in easily understandable roles that people can comprehend without much thought or understanding. Looking outside yourself for validation usually comes from not understanding your own role or capabilities and this is where self obsession is toxic. Knowledge of self is the most valuable thing.
Hey Naval, what about Airchat?
The “Me story” is a paradoxically difficult and simple disease to kick
i love freedom tech more than i love myself and think others will migrate to this shared belief 📈
“Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call ‘humble’ nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.”
C.S. Lewis
“he will not be thinking about…..himself……AT ALL.”
🧡 it.
Having children is as much our salvation as it is our legacy.
