I’ve been reading Adler lately, and I’m more and more convinced that humans are social beings. The idea of separating tasks—figuring out what’s mine and what’s not—really feels like the key to letting go of anxiety and that trapped-in-your-head way of thinking. When you wake up to yourself, you start to see your way back to what life is really about.

Vervaeke’s awakening from the meaning crisis touches on this too.

First time seeing the Moon’s surface through a telescope. Kind of blown away.
Winter air hits different for stargazing.
Jupiter & the Milky Way next

To me:

1. Be the “dumbest” in your circle — keep leveling up.
2. Stay hyped. Do what you love.
3. Have a vision. Know who you wanna become.
4. Enjoy the ride — the destination ain’t everything.
5. Know your weak spots & partner with people who crush those areas.
6. Don’t let material goals run your life.
7. Failure is part of the game. Reflect, learn, move on.

People hold stuff in all day and run to the internet to vent — emphasis on vent.
But the internet’s a wild forest full of strangers, so you get way more fights than agreement.

And since people can’t stand seeing others do better than themselves, you get more sarcasm than empathy. A fully open online space is a pretty terrible place to pour your heart out.

Hedonic adaptation is wild — the moment something good becomes normal, you stop feeling the good.

The Stoics had a hack for this: negative visualization. Imagine losing what you have, and suddenly it feels precious again.

When you hit that kind of insight while reading, it’s honestly thrilling.
