You have to make your own meaning in life, because nobody else is going to do it for you.
Cut out anything that doesn’t bring you joy. Friends always bring you down with drama? Cut them out. Work giving you grief? Look for another job.
Not always easy but establishing boundaries is super important especially for those with White Knight syndrome. You can’t put out others fires if you are aflame.
Just be a good motherfucker, and treat all humans with respect and dignity.
Except u/spez. Prick.
It’s kind of obvious but when troubleshooting really try to think about things logically “What works? What doesn’t work?” goes a long way.
It’s pretty easy to get worked up and take leaps like “This printer must be broken” for example but if you think about the processes along the way it can help. Are there any signs of life? Has this ever worked? Did it work on a different computer? Is the cable fine? And so on.
Basically taking a step back and being more methodical.
A friend had this mantra of “You do you.” that I’ve really embraced. Stop giving a shit about the things you don’t agree with or views other people are into. I’m not looking to change minds, just being personally receptive and open is enough for me.
In line with that one: you don’t have to have an opinion on everything
There’s this push sometimes to pick a side, rank the options, etc. We don’t have to do that. The world is complex, and being ok with that is ok :)
Focus your mental and emotional energy on the things that truly matter to you, while also remaining open to learning and growing through the perspectives of others
Look after your back when you’re young (unfortunately I didn’t take this advice).
