Our Rallying Points

Hey everyone! I wanted to post something which I think is very much needed today. With all the shit we’re dealing with in life right now I think it’s important to self-assess our mental health frequently to maintain our sanity and focus.

Trump is a flaming piece of shit as his actions clearly show. Every day there’s a news headline more stupid than the day before. With all this chaos going on I’ve had to drastically cut out news in my daily mental diet and only pay attention to the weather and financial news mostly. I’ve had to tell myself “Trump and his allies are pieces of shit, and pieces of shit do piece of shit things”…and there’s not much I can do about it. All I can do is:

  1. Remember we’re still right and they’re still wrong, and time will reveal this.
  2. Understand my brain is controlled by atoms and molecules as part of natural processes. Those atoms and molecules respond to my environment so I need to remove anything from my environment which has a detrimental mental effect.
  3. Be honest about my feelings. In other words: take my mental health seriously.
  4. Fight only the battles that need fighting and don’t waste time on anything else. Time is the only thing you can’t get back.
  5. Understand that media is driven by ratings and money and they’re going to do and say whatever they think will make me watch. They don’t care about my mental health, so I have to. I must guard my eyes and ears and filter out anything that doesn’t educate or encourage me.
  6. Be great and succeed at something. Otherwise, nobody will care what I say or think.
  7. Make money. Despite my strong desire to see a Star Trek eutopia, in this day and time money is still required to succeed at anything.

These are my rallying points. I hope it’s useful to you!
