It turns out that adversity and failure are actually useful and even necessary for developing strong-minded and successful adults. - Mark Manson

Our culture today confuses great attention and great success, assuming them to be the same thing. But they are not.

Because when you give too many fucks — when you give a fuck about everyone and everything — you will feel that you’re perpetually entitled to be comfortable and happy at all times, that everything is supposed to be just exactly the fucking way you want it to be. This is a sickness. And it will eat you alive. You will see every adversity as an injustice, every challenge as a failure, every inconvenience as a personal slight, every disagreement as a betrayal.

The best moments of your life won’t look like the best moments of your life while they’re happening.
