Inspired by the book F-Feelings by Michael Bennett, MD and the movie Trolls
Forget
Feelings
Thoughts
and feelings are random events that we cannot control. Stop trying to get rid
of them. Focus on behaviors within your control, otherwise you will feel like a
failure.
Forget Happiness
Acting
happy is a lot easier than forcing yourself to feel happy. Ask yourself, “What
would a happy person do?”
Forget
Worries
If
you can’t solve a problem in 30 minutes, move on and try again tomorrow. Don’t
do the same thing over and over expecting different results.
Forget Fairness
Fairness
doesn’t come until the afterlife. No matter how careful we are, we are never
100% safe. Getting what you deserve is a lucky event, not a right.
Forget Expectations
Being
attached to things only leads to suffering. Work with what you have.
Forget Bravery
The
hero and the bystander feel the same thing. It’s just a matter of what you do
with the fear. What would a confident person do?
Forget Solutions
There
are only compromises. Try something and move on. Think, Decide, Do. Stop waiting.
