I’ve been listening to the book ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck’ for the last week. I listen to it every time I’m in the car, which if you know me, is all the time. I downloaded audible randomly last week and got to choose 1 free book for 30 days. This was one of the first choices I saw. As a chic whose language isn’t often that of a lady, the title intrigued me immediately. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it since I started. It’s weird how something you don’t realize you need happens into your life when you need it most. This book has spoken to me in a way that no other book has in quite some time. I encourage everyone to read it. It’s blunt, honest and encouraging. So I’ll leave you with this, a quote from Mark Manson’s book that has stuck with me, for it’s unapologetic truth that resonated with me deeply; "Our culture today is obsessively focused on unrealistically positive expectations: Be happier. Be healthier. Be the best, better than the rest. Be smarter, faster, richer, sexier, more popular, more productive, more envied, and more admired. Ironically, this fixation on the positive only serves to remind us over and over again of what we are not, of what we lack, of what we should have been but failed to be. After all, no truly happy person feels the need to stand in front of a mirror and recite that she’s happy. She just is." I myself am guilty of this at times but I know that I am far from the best or perfect. In fact I’m quite average, I’m not the best at anything, I’m okay with failing and I know that there’s only room for me to learn and become better at whatever it is I am passionate about. I am average and I am happy
