Be wrong as fast as you can. Mistakes are an inevitable part of the creative process, so get right down to it and start making them.
As children we are raised to exist in a world that others wish exists, rather than the world that actually exists.
We tread carefully through life so that we can make it safely to the grave. Life is a risk, and not taking one is the biggest risk.
If we do not have sovereignty over our own bodies then what do we have in this world?
A rising tide raises all ships.
The Truth is hidden in plain sight.
Look a little close. What you see as a liability is really an asset.
Don't ask yourself how I can make money. Don't ask yourself how I can be successful. Do not ask for the meaning of life. Ask how I can give my Gift to the World.
Philosophy of the Day
Amor Fati is a Latin phrase loosely translating to "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good. Moreover, it is characterized by an acceptance of the events or situations that occur in one's life.
The phrase has been linked to the writings of Marcus Aurelius, who did not himself use the words (he wrote in Greek, not Latin). [1]
The phrase is used repeatedly in Friedrich Nietzsche's writings and is representative of the general outlook on life he articulates in section 276 of The Gay Science, which reads:
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: someday I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.
Quotation from "Why I Am So Clever" in Ecce Homo, section 10: [2]
My formula for greatness in a human being is Amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, and not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendaciousness in the face of what is necessary—but love it.
