“We are not meant to be happy all the time, at least in terms of constant bliss. Our brains cannot always be high on dopamine. If they were meant to be then narcotic drugs wouldn’t be so harmful.
A better and more realistic aspiration than constant happiness, is “reasonable peace”

“Have a sense of direction, or a rudder that keeps you on a path to progress without obsessing that it has to be achieved within a certain time frame. Some goals like weight loss, are more under your control than financial goals or goals to marry a specific person.
Completely drop the goals that are not in your hands and adopt an approach where you have a general direction, but your sense of self-worth is not tied to the achievement of that thing.”

“If there is one thing, you need to ALWAYS remember is that you cannot keep winning forever, that is just not how life works. Jump high if you want but always make sure you have a safety net and remember, the higher you jump the stronger a safety net you need!”

“You are in control of your actions but not always the result of those actions and there are far more factors at play than your own will that will decide what you get out of life.”

“If you are constantly trying to be less stupid, or if experience tells you that you are wrong, every few years, your perception of life will change.”

“Remember, that in any objective, where the outcome depends significantly on factors other than ones that you directly control, the correlation between effort and reward, COMPLETELY breaks down.”

“You should realize that even the thoughts originating in your mind are not always your own. They don’t just happen when you want them to arise, but often arise within a certain dictated framework.
Let me explain. In some ways, our minds have some similarities to AI models of the current era. Just like AI, we are trained on large sets of data and facts, fed by our operator (the society and world around us) and our thinking is limited within the current evolutionary constraints of our own brains, just like other animals cannot possess the cognitive capabilities of a human.
To think beyond this framework is almost a superhuman task, truly demonstrated by only a few known people in history, the Buddha being one example.
In other words, the one who is blind from birth, has no idea what “seeing” feels like.”
