Freedom + Health + Travel + Life
You already have the tools for success and I prove it in this video…
Have you ever thought you didn’t have the right tools for the job? Like maybe if you had “this” or “that” you’d be able to accomplish your goals?
That’s all bullshit and I prove it below.
The content in this video is important. So no text summary. ;)

Let me know what you think …
Here’s why failure simply doesn’t exist…
[If you’re reading this via RSS or e-mail and the video doesn’t show please click here to watch.]
Failure doesn’t exist. Feedback does.
Do you see how if we reframe Failure as Feedback it takes on a whole new meaning?
In the standard sense of the definition, I fail often.
Below I’ve written about some of my failures and you should watch the complementary video as well… :)
I don’t know a single successful person who hasn’t failed multiple times. Most likely hundreds of times.
A lot of people would consider my recent eBook launch a failure since, in the scheme of eBook launches, I didn’t generate a crazy amount of revenue. I look at it as an incredible success.
Here’s why:
1) I shipped. So what if the eBook wasn’t perfect? It’s good, people are enjoying it, and I got it out there. Success!
2) I raised money for a good cause. I sent $1,600 to Kiva. This is going to directly affect the lives of a bunch of third world entrepreneurs! (This comes after #1 because if not for #1 there wouldn’t have been a #2.)
3) I get a new kind of feedback on my work. Once someone spends money with you the relationship changes. It’s a position I don’t take lightly. My aim is to over deliver. Which is why I write so much here; for the sheer love of sharing ideas.
We don’t learn from our failures.
We learn from the feedback we get from our failures.
Let’s be clear that avoiding failure is not the goal. More than that, a life without failure is boring.
And, of course, avoiding failure is impossible.
The goal is to achieve success or failure as soon as possible. If that means 10-20 hours in electronic stores trying to get a USB modem then so be it. :)
Sometimes we get too caught up in our lives to allow ourselves to step back and analyze what’s going on. Now that I’ve put my thoughts on the relationship of failure and feedback down into words I’ll have a much easier time dealing with failure in the future.
Now that you’ve read this article, I hope you’ll have an easier time with your failures as well. :)
I’m interested: how do you deal with your failures? Do you beat yourself up over them? Do you get depressed? Do you use them as learning experiences? What steps do you take?
Whoa, that’s a lot of questions, but I’m fascinated with failure, feedback, and success. Post in the comments or, if you’d like some level of anonymity, e-mail me: KarolGajda AT Gmail.com. More important than anything, be honest with yourself when answering the questions.
———-
EDIT (March 11, 2010): This is weird/cool. Penelope Trunk and Dragos Roua both wrote about failure recently.
I like what these people are doing…
After yesterday’s post about “Thank You” I felt compelled to write this post. Yes, my post schedule is completely off this week, but that’s OK.
A lot of fun things have been happening with friends and I want to share that with you. If you’re reading this blog then you’ll probably like what they’re doing too.
I’ve numbered them, but they’re in no particular order.
1) Get Out of Debt
Baker over at ManVsDebt released his first eBook UnAutomate Your Finances: http://manvsdebt.com/unautomate-your-finances
No, that’s not an affiliate link. While I am an affiliate, this is bigger than putting money in my pocket. I think you should consider getting UnAutomate Your Finances if you’re in debt.
I’ve read it, it’s actionable, it’s doable. I like that type of shit. I know, wtf, spending money if you’re in debt? The truth is you don’t need this book. You don’t need any book. But if you don’t know what to do, this is a highly recommended action plan you can follow.
On a related note: I’ve written a post called “How To Deal With Debt” that I still haven’t posted. In that one I’ll use an affiliate link for Baker’s eBook. ;) Dealing with debt is an important step to living anywhere, so we’ll cover that when the time comes.
2) Minimalism
Everett Bogue has been on fire lately. He interviewed me in January. That’s not part of the “on fire,” but I digress … just a few weeks ago he released a practical eBook on minimalism called The Art of Being Minimalist. Although I don’t really write too much about minimalism here, it’s a way of life I subscribe to.
After reading Everett’s eBook I was compelled to send him a 2,400 word essay about minimalism that will either be included in an update of his book or shared with you some other way.
Again, this is not an affiliate link. I truly believe Minimalism is one of the easiest paths to Freedom: http://www.artofbeingminimalist.com/
3) Create A Movement
Everett Bogue again. I said he was on fire, didn’t I? Last Sunday he released a free eBook called How To Create A Movement. It’s short and fluffless. You know how I hate fluff.
Thank you for joining my Ridiculously Extraordinary Movement. You rock for being here. :)
4) Use Your Skills For Good
In early January Shannon Albert made a post asking for help brainstorming an online project. In essence, she was wondering how to monetize her skills. I made a comment on that post even though I didn’t directly offer any advice. I had a feeling I knew what Shannon was going to do.
See, before I even started RidiculouslyExtraordinary.com I e-mailed Shannon for help with the design. I designed this blog myself, but without her help, it would look like poop. (Yes, I did just use poop instead of crap or shit, what of it?!)
You can now hire Shannon to create a blog from scratch or help you with setting up WordPress, among other things: http://shannonalbert.me/blog-services/
The video I have planned for Friday also references Shannon’s “brainstorming” blog post. It’s about Tools. And it’s important.
See you tomorrow with a new video: “Failure Doesn’t Exist.”
If you have a favorite blogger, but don’t want to buy their stuff, here is how to pay them without spending a penny…
If you’re reading this via e-mail please click here to watch the video.
The dynamic on this blog has changed. Now that I have a product for sale it might seem to you that I only want you here to spend money.
That’s not the case at all.
I want you to know that I want you here and I appreciate you being here even if you never spend a penny with me. This site wasn’t created for me to make money.
I explain more in the video (with a summary down below):
Video summary:
– I want you here even if you never spend a penny with me.
– The best way to pay a blogger is by letting them know you appreciate them: leave a comment.
– Even if you don’t have anything profound to say, leave a comment.
– A comment as simple as “Thank you” is payment enough. We thrive on comments like that.
– If you want to go above and beyond: subscribe to RSS feeds, newsletters, and tell your friends about your favorite blogs. In short, spread the word.
Today and for the rest of your blog reading life, if you read an article that you really like, whether it’s on this blog or another, leave a comment.
If you’re extra bold leave this comment:
“I don’t have anything to add to this conversation, but Karol Gajda told me if I like a blog post just to say Thank You. So thank you!”
The time has come for you to learn how to live anywhere. Join me inside…
The time has come: http://www.HowToLiveAnywhere.com
It has been an intense 10 days around here. In a good way. It was both exhilarating and exhausting. And, well, I’m still not done! (Monday’s Over The Shoulder Member’s Area launch!)
Besides writing at least 5,000 words for the Freedom Fighters eCourse (which I’m getting a ton of positive feedback about; thanks!), I put together about 15,000 words for How To Live Anywhere, in addition to writing a few articles (guest posts and my own) that amounted to another 5,000 words. 25,000+ words in 10 days is a new personal best.
I already stated this to the eBook launch notification e-mail list, but it probably wasn’t the best idea releasing 3 products in 7 days. :) That’s just how I roll.
The beauty of Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom is I have the option work my ass off now and then chill out for the rest of the month (or months). The other beautiful part of Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom is I don’t want to chill out. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love this shit.
If you’re into it, check out How To Live Anywhere, but please read the anti-sales sales page before you order. :)
Oh, and since it’s my birthday every sale that comes through in the next 24 hours gets doubled (by me!) and sent to third world entrepreneurs via Kiva.org. If you want to play along join the RidiculouslyExtraordinary.com Kiva Lending Team by clicking here. Let’s get up to $5,000 in lending as a group, yeah? I tossed in $25 just now so the group doesn’t look bare. I hope to add ~$1,000 myself very very soon. ;) [EDIT: Wow! Thank you! I’ve already earmarked $1k and its only been 12 hours!]
Monday I’ll have a video (if I can upload it!) about why I don’t care if you ever buy from me and why I want you here anyway. It’s not just about me, more about how to show your appreciation for any blogger even if you don’t buy their products. I will keep posting and offering up my content no matter what. And I’m thinking about posting 3 solid articles (or videos if I can upload them!) next week to make up for the fact that the past 2 have been announcing launches of some sort.
So, with that all out of the way, check out HowToLiveAnywhere.com.
Whether you decide to buy or not thank you for supporting my art.
I launched this site exactly 8 months ago. All that time culminates in this: The free Freedom Fighters eCourse is FINALLY ready for you…
Today is a big day.
Not only because I’m launching the Freedom Fighters eCourse (more below), but because it’s Holi! The Festival of Colors! I’m probably outside right now getting covered in colored powder and water which I hope doesn’t come out for days. :)
As you may know, before I launched RidiculouslyExtraordinary.com I spent 30 days writing at least 1,000 words/day for it. This gave me a base of articles to launch with and gave me some leeway in case I was too busy and didn’t have another article ready on my scheduled post days.
You’ve seen maybe half of that content so far. Some of it wasn’t very good and some of it I just haven’t released for whatever other reason.
Part of the content you never saw is the 7 Day eCourse I created called “How To Be Extraordinary.”
I knew one of the best ways to connect with friends and fans was through e-mail, but I never launched the course.
I kept telling myself: “Ehh, I’ll wait until I have more readers.”
Do you ever do that? Put things off that you know will benefit you and others?
A few weeks ago I decided I was finally going to release the course.
But I couldn’t find it.
5,000 words don’t just disappear!
Or do they?
Interestingly, losing the course didn’t even affect me. I was probably going to rewrite it anyway.
When I wrote the original eCourse I hadn’t yet found my voice. I’m still not fully there, but I’ve got a much better idea of where I’m going with my writing style now.
What all that means is I had to get to work writing a new course from scratch. Being that I’ve been drinking far too much coconut juice I also thought it would be a good idea to write an eBook at the same time as writing the free course!
The eBook, How To Live Anywhere, comes out Friday March 05, 2010 at Midnight EST (use time.gov), also considered Thursday night to some folks. It’s currently at 10,000 words, but you’ll learn Friday about a secret I have about turning that into at least 30,000 words. I already feel like, even if I didn’t write another word, you’ll really love it. (Don’t forget, if you’re first to buy it’s only 10 cents and goes up 10 cents after every sale.)
As far as the free Freedom Fighters ecourse. Well. That?
That comes out right now…
– You, if you want to achieve Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom.
– You, if you want to connect with what I do beyond the scope of this site.
– You, if you want more in depth insight into the Freedom aspect of what I write about.
– People who don’t take action.
– Readers of this site who like my writing, but don’t necessarily want Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom. I know there are a few of you. That’s cool. No worries. I’m still keeping up the regular blog posting and I love and appreciate that you’re here. :)
– Anybody who already has a freedom business. I might be able to teach you some things if you’re already free, but this ecourse is designed for somebody who is just getting started.
Who doesn’t like to make money utilizing free methods? Check it…
My How To Spot Opportunity article got a lot of traffic and comments. I hope some of you are implementing what you learned. This is a Part 2, of sorts. It’s a completely different method, and it’s free. This won’t make you rich, but it can easily pay for your utility bills every month. :)
If you’ve got more time than money than one of the best ways to make money online is utilizing free traffic methods. I test everything at least once and, over the past couple of years, HubPages has been one of the more promising methods of generating traffic and cash.
HubPages are really easy to create (seriously, it will take you less than 15 minutes to create your first Hub) and the traffic they generate with almost no work on your part is pretty impressive.
BTW, there are NO affiliate links to paid products in this article. While I have no problem recommending products with my affiliate link, for this particular situation it isn’t completely necessary.
(Side note: What I mean by Paid Products is products you have to pay for. Yes, the HubPages links in this report are “affiliate” links, but HubPages is completely free to join!)
1) Pick a keyword phrase using the free Google Keyword Tool (more on that in a bit) and make that phrase the name of your Hub.
2) Write a 400-500 word article on that keyword phrase. Make it informative and helpful. Don’t try to sell anything. No affiliate links…yet.
This is important, so I’ll repeat it again: provide quality content in your article.
While HubPages doesn’t really police their site so you can do what you want, it’s a much better idea to make your content good.
3) Use SocialPoster.com (free) or any similar service to submit that Hub to the Social networks.
4) Once you start getting traffic pepper in an affiliate link at the beginning and end of your Hub.
This whole process will take you less than an hour once you have all your social posting site accounts in place.
I know it sounds too easy, but that’s really all there is to it.
Let’s get to the details...
Just follow the settings above for your Hub. Since HubPages splits the Adsense with you 60/40 (60% to you 40% to them) you may not want to include any ads at all. That’s up to you.
I’ve found that Adsense is not taking away at all from the affiliate revenue my Hubs generate. And hey, you’re helping HubPages out with the 40%.
I’m on board for helping quality companies like them. If they don’t generate revenue they won’t be around to help us generate revenue, get it?
Just like in my How To Spot Opportunity article, use the Google Keyword Tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
People seem to get stuck on keywords, but it’s really not that difficult. What you want for your HubPages are keyword phrases that have a decent search volume (at least 10,000/month) and low competition (under 50,000) when you do a phrase match search in Google.
For example:
As you can see this particular keyword has an Average search volume of 12,100/month. Important to note the Match Type on the right side. The default is Broad, change it to Phrase when doing your searches.
And here’s the competition in Google for the same keyword. Again it’s a phrase search (the keyword in quotes).
So this keyword has 21,500 competing pages in Google.
12,500 avg search volume and 21,500 competing pages is a pretty good keyword to use. I’ll show you the exact stats for this keyword in the Proof This Works section below.
I know what you might be thinking “well that’s all well and good Karol, but where do I get my keyword ideas?!”
And this is probably where you think I’ll throw in an affiliate link or two. :)
I’m not gonna play you like that.
Let me repeat what I stated at the beginning of this article…
There are NO affiliate links to paid products in this article. While I have no problem recommending products with my affiliate link (and there are ways to make this whole process easier with paid software) I’m going to give you the free method.
The easiest way to quickly generate keyword ideas for your Hubs is to look at other successful Hubs. :)
Here’s a list of Hot Hubs: http://hubpages.com/hubs/hot/
Yup, that’s it. Just take their keyword phrases, check them out using the Google method above to find the best ones, and write YOUR OWN Hub on that keyword phrase.
Checking out other Hubs in the Google keyword tool will give you other keyword ideas so don’t feel like you can’t use them too.
What I’m trying to say is use your brain a bit. Get those synapses firing. :)
Got it? Good…
Because, for whatever reason, nobody believes anything anymore without proof. ;)
This is a screen shot (from my PrimaryAds.com account) for the month of January 2010 for the affiliate links in a single Hub. $24.80.
A screen shot from Google Adsense for that same Hub. $18.70
The total this Hub made for all of January 2010 was only $43.50.
Does that excite you?
It should.
Here’s why:
That Hub has been around for more than a year. 1 hour of work and hundreds of dollars of profit. It’s repeatable. It’s easy to do. And it’s completely FREE to get started.
Let’s say you only create 10 Hubs that make an average of $1 per day and it takes you 2 hours of your total time per hub. That’s 20 hours of time for an extra $300/month. Realistically, every hub you make won’t make money. But even if you had to create 50 hubs to generate $300/month that’s a great start. It’s not just about the money. It’s also about the learning experience.
Is that all worth it to you? I hope so. Because if not, I don’t think I can ever help you.
(I am NOT checking my Feedburner stats for a while due to the subscriber loss that last sentence will bring! haha)
In case you didn’t read Monday’s post: I’m launching 3 things within the next 11 days.
This coming Monday, March 1, 2010 comes the free Freedom Fighters e-course/newsletter.
Next Friday, March 5, 2010 (Midnight Eastern Standard Time, using time.gov) comes the How To Live Anywhere eBook. The price starts at just 10 cents and goes up 10 cents after every sale. All money received (+ matching by me) in the first 24 hours will go to third world entrepreneurs via one of my favorite sites: Kiva.org.
Then on Monday March 8, 2010 comes the RidiculouslyExtraordinary.com Over-My-Shoulder-This-Is-What-I’m-Working-On Membership Area. (Catchy name.) This won’t be cheap and I don’t expect to sell too many seats (how is that for honesty? haha), which means you’ll see some things that few others will see. I’ll show you an actual niche project I’m working on using something I call “Product Leasing.” Essentially that’s selling an information product you don’t own and it has nothing to do with affiliate programs.
If you want to be notified of the eBook and the membership area just fill out this form (don’t worry, I hate spam, and you won’t get any from me). BTW, you’ll get a 15 minute head start on the eBook (remember, the price increases after every sale) and a discount on the membership area.
The title is misleading. This is about the future of Ridiculously Extraordinary and about shipping, being an artist, and being a linchpin. Read it now…
(Important notes in the Don’t Skip This section of this article. If you skip the article, please read those.)
As you may know I’ve been having a difficult time with technology here in India.
A few days ago I spent 3 hours trying to get a USB Modem. Total time spent on trying to get an Internet connection the past couple weeks? At least 10 hours, but probably closer to 20 hours.
The internet wouldn’t really be an issue if I didn’t have things to ship. (More on that in the Don’t Skip This section below.)
I understand it’s because of terrorists and all of these rules are new so it’s a bit of a mess on all sides. And while the rules didn’t stop the restaurant bombing last week in Pune, maybe it is stopping the frequency of similar bombings. (I doubt it.)
Disagreeing with the way things are does nothing for me.
Figuring out how to make things happen in spite of the way things are causes change.
While sitting frustrated in my guest house what a lot of you commented/e-mailed me with during my whiny post a couple weeks ago finally hit me: “It’s not the end of the world.”
So I don’t have Internet. Who cares?
I can’t get any work done. (more on that in a bit!) Who cares?
I scheduled blog posts and I can’t respond to or moderate comments on my blog in a timely fashion. It sucks, and I feel bad, but you will stick around or you won’t.
Obviousy I want you to stick around and I figure you probably understand I can’t be stuck to my computer moderating/responding/commenting when I don’t have Internet. :)
Some people tell me Goa is a bit backwards (as far as tech and a few other things) and I should head somewhere else. While that sounds like a good plan, I’m not interested in being on the road. I want to stay put and get work done. i.e. Ship! (more on that in a bit)
If I’m going to leave it’s to move on to where I want to go, not some random place in search of an “easier time.”
I actually never planned on coming to India in the first place, so it’s all a bonus. I planned on going to Thailand and when I heard about the guitar workshop I’m taking (I’m just finishing the guitar as this post goes live!) I decided to delay Thailand and head to India.
So again, India’s a bonus.
I’ve made a couple of friends and met a bunch of people I never would have met had I not come. Bonus.
I’ve been able to eat some of my favorite foods daily. Bonus.
I learned I love running barefoot on the beach. :) Bonus.
I drink/eat a fresh coconut every day! Bonus.
Said coconut is chopped open with a machete in front of my eyes. Free show. Bonus!
If you’ve read this far, thank you.
If you enjoy what I’ve been doing here, thank you.
If you’ve e-mailed me or commented and haven’t received a response yet, thank you for your patience, I’m catching up. :)
I appreciate you hanging out here.
Oh, and by the way, once I stopped worrying about it, and after another (short!) visit to the electronics store, I ended up getting a USB modem and one month of high speed internet for 4,000 Rupees! ;)
###
In other news, I’m working on something interesting.
Well, 3 things.
– A free newsletter and e-course about achieving Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom. It will be focused on the Freedom aspect of this site and not so much on the other topics I talk about. (You know, like how I cured my allergies.)
– A corresponding eBook called “Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom: How To Live Anywhere” which will be released using an incremental pricing model, starting at 10 cents and going up 10 cents after every sale. The sooner you buy, the less you pay. First day sales (+ my matching of that amount) will go to third world entrepreneurs via Kiva.org.
– An over-the-shoulder, here’s what I’m doing (including live examples), paid membership area. Because I get a lot of e-mails/questions about what I do, I’m releasing a paid membership area where you can look over my shoulder and see actual live niche projects I’m working on. I’m currently working on something unique I call “Product Leasing” in which I sell a product I didn’t write and don’t own. And it’s NOT about affiliate programs. I don’t know if anybody else is doing this. If they are, they’re keeping quiet about it.
To get on the notification list for the member’s area and ebook launches just fill out your name and primary e-mail address. (Don’t worry, I hate spam, and you won’t get it from me.)
If you’re reading via RSS/e-mail and the form doesn’t show up, fill it out right here.
I hadn’t planned on releasing the newsletter (the e-course isn’t even close to “ready”) or eBook (barely started it!) for a while and I didn’t even have the idea for the membership area. Then I read Linchpin
The main takeaways I got from Linchpin were: “Artists ship” and “Give gifts.” (Another takeaway: sprinting, getting an enormous amount of work done in a short amount of time, is good on an irregular basis. The next 10 days I’m going to be sprinting.)
While I have been shipping (and hopefully giving gifts) by consistently posting to this blog, I don’t think that’s enough. So maybe you can understand my frustration with the internet issues. I wasn’t able to ship!
What was also stopping me was my lizard brain (Seth Godin term) telling me “These things won’t be successful, you don’t have enough readers yet.” Which may be true, but whatever. It’s happening.
Here is how it’s all going down:
This Thursday (Feb 25, 2010) you’ll read a free article called “How To Make Money With Free Traffic” with an action plan to earn an extra $300/month passively.
Next Monday (March 1, 2010) I’m releasing the Freedom Fighters newsletter/e-course.
Next Friday (March 5, 2010 at Midnight EST) comes the eBook. You could consider that Thursday night if you wish. But it’s being released on Friday because that’s my birthday and I’m going to send all the money (x2) generated that day to third world entrepreneurs via one of my favorite sites: Kiva.org. I don’t have enough readers here to write as large a check as I’d like, but that’s ok. Artists ship. ;)
Then on Monday March 8, 2010 comes the membership area.
Join the notification list for the member’s area and ebook launches here (hint: you’ll get a discount):
Again, if you’re reading via RSS/e-mail and the form doesn’t show up, fill it out right here.
Whew! Thanks for reading. And thanks for being such a big part of everything I do here.
Have you ever hated something you wish you could love? Exercise, diet, anything? If so, here is how to love…
If you’ve read my Get Fit In 1 Minute article you know I hate running.
But what I love is experimenting with things I hate. That’s the key. Experimentation.
While here in Goa, India I’ve learned to love running. “Barefoot” (in Vibram Five Fingers) on the beach.
By this time next year I will have run a marathon. Somewhere warm, of course. ;)
That may be a lofty goal considering I’ve only run more than a few miles once in my life. It was a 5 mile run six years ago in the middle of a Michigan Winter (below freezing!) to get White Castle at 4am. :)
The Experimentation Process
Step 1) Realize that you probably don’t hate what you think you hate. You simply hate the way you’ve been going about that thing.
Step 2) Seek out alternatives. There should be at least a few viable alternatives to whatever it is you hate. Write them down in the order you’d like to test them out.
Step 3) Test the alternatives one by one until you’ve found an iteration you love.
“I want to start a blog, but I hate writing.”
How about a video blog? Or a podcast? Both are viable alternatives.
Even just a Twitter account can make you “famous.” If a book deal isn’t coming or already there for ShitMyDadSays, it’s coming. (If you follow me on Twitter you’ll be famous (or something) too: @KarolGajda)
“I hate fruits/vegetables, but I want to eat healthier.”
It’s impossible to hate every fruit/vegetable, so find fruits/vegetables you’ve never tasted before and taste them. When you find one you like (and you will) eat it regularly, while continuously trying other fruits/veggies.
“I hate exercise, but I want to get fit.”
More than likely you don’t hate exercise, you just hate the exercises you’ve been doing. I used to hate exercise too, so I can relate.
It’s a pain in the ass to find one, but there is some form of exercise that you will love. My favorites are riding my bike and jumping rope. And now I’m learning to love barefoot running along the beach. How is THAT for specific? I could very easily have never even tried running barefoot on the beach because every other time I’ve ever “tried running” I hated it.
It’s important to remember that as you’re going through the Hate -> Love Experimentation Process you might hate some of the things you experiment with. There is nothing wrong with quitting and experimenting with the next thing on the list.
Until you’ve flipped that hate into love, of course. ;)
I could list examples from my own life for pages, but I’d like to know situations where you’ve turned something you once hated into something you now love.
The shortest article in the history of RE. It’s important. Read it now…
Stop.
Stop listening to everybody around you.
Stop following aimlessly.
Stop making excuses.
Start going after what you want.
Make decisions.
Don’t apologize for those decisions.
Some decisions you make will be wrong.
You will fail.
Some decisions you make will be spot on.
You will succeed.
Some decisions you make will just be.
That’s OK too.
You know what you want. Your friends and family know what they want for you.
There is a monumental difference between the two.
It’s the difference between being happy and just being.
You can’t please everybody.
Don’t try.
Most people won’t agree with you.
Good.
Agreement is safe.
Acceptance is safe.
Doing what you’ve been doing is safe.
Seek danger.
