Bonus! | Great People Who Embodied (orEmbody) The Art of Not Giving a Fuck

The Art of Not Giving a Fuck holds a specialplace in my heart. Its the culmination of so much knowledge,wisdom and experience Ive acquired over the years.

It is for everyone, including myself. I feelit has truly empowering and actionable information that will mostcertainly enhance your life. I also find myself consistentlyapplying more and more of what is discussed since I began writingthis book. I hope this work sparks something within you. I hope itacts as a catalyst for setting you on the path of empowerment,becoming the best version of yourself, having fun, and spreadingjoyfulness to others.

Even though the title is The Art of NotGiving a Fuck, its deep, insightful, spiritual and ultimatelyrooted in love. This book is a Trojan horse of sorts, in the waythat it conveys messages of empowerment and love in an unorthodoxway.

I wrote this book because I believe itcontains crucial messages that will enhance our experience of life.I struggled a lot with fear of all kinds until recently. I caredway too much about the opinions of others, and this suppressed mytrue essence. But through a lot of self-work, inner exploration,and self-improvement in every aspect of life, I feel liberated andempowered. I let my awesome out, no fucks given.

The Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a combinationof my knowledge/wisdom/experiences, theknowledge/wisdom/experiences of others, and reverse engineering themind-sets of people I deeply admire.

There is so much out there, so much to learn,so much to experience. This is my collage of applied knowledge; mymosaic of wisdom and experience. This is my gift to the world. AndI present it to you with a big, beaming smile as I write this.

I wish you a life filled with peace, love,happiness, health, learning, and most importantly FUN.

"You gain nothing by being bothered bylife's events. It doesn't change the world; you just suffer." -Michael A. Singer (The Untethered Soul)

Enjoy yourself!

The key to continuous happiness, empowerment,spiritual growth, and living an awesome life can be summed up in 3words...

Give no fucks.

Note: If youre offended by my use of theword fuck, you probably need this more than you think.

Before you dismiss the above phrase as dumband ignorant, lets break it down

The art of not giving a fuck is embodyingthis mentality:

My natural state is purehappiness, and Im not letting anything disrupt it.

Its choosing to be happy, regardless of whathappens externally.

The thing is that most people dont thinkthey have a choice. This results in internal happiness beingdetermined by external circumstances; a one-way ticket to victimcity. Fuck that.

If youre reading this, that means yourewilling to make the choice. Youre willing to choose happiness, nomatter what. Because, really, why wouldnt you?

You determine your own happiness, becausegenuine happiness is an internal phenomenon.

It makes absolutely no sense to let externalthings determine your internal state.

No matter what happens on the outside, wehave the choice to determine what goes on inside. Thats theultimate freedom.

Dont worry, be happy.

Each fuck you give is a piece of a dam,blocking the flow of perpetual bliss.

Stop resisting everything that happens, andlet it flow baby.

You dont have to cling on to things youcant change. Life is about learning to let go.

You know why its hard to be happy? Itsbecause we refuse to let go of the things that make us sad.Ralph Smart

You dont have to get hung up on everything.Stop resisting everything and create your own reality each moment.When you resist the present moment, youre resisting all that is.Be like water, my friend. Flow through the terrain of life.

Theres no need to carry the baggage ofthe past with you. Youll accumulate more and more over time,making it increasingly difficult to move forward. (Plus, the pastonly exists in our minds anyway.) Let go.

Theres no need to worry about what mighthappen in the future. You dont have to play out all of thewhat if scenarios in the fantasy-land of your mind. Just go withthe flow. Have an idea of where youre headed, but live in themoment. When youre driving somewhere, do you stare at thedestination (if you can even see it)? Or do you focus on the partof the road youre driving on in the moment? Navigate through lifewith your awareness in the present moment, and enjoy the ride.

Its useless to sweat the small stuff (andmost of it is small stuff). Really, everything matters way lessthan you initially think. Are you going to remember the time thatguy cut you off in traffic when youre on your deathbed? Nope. Shithappens. Life goes on. Make the most out of it by choosinghappiness.

Experience, live, and learn without ALLOWING(*keyword*) anything to interrupt your happiness.

This is the art of not giving a fuck.

It is being unaffected by external scenarios.Being in control of how you feel. Its choosing to let things go.Choosing to not succumb to fear (False Evidence Appearing Real).You have the power to choose your actions (and reactions) in everymoment. You are the master of YOUR REALITY.

Stop getting hung up on everything. Stopgetting angry. Stop worrying. Stop resisting the present. And stopstopping, move with the flow of life.

Experience, learn, and enjoy everymoment.

Life is too short to give a fuck; too shortto succumb to fear; too short to throw away your happiness.

Now you might be all like,

If I didnt care about anything, I wouldntget anything done. Id lose my job, my family, and end uphomeless.

Or

If I didnt care about anything, what wouldstop me from doing something like killing someone?

Well, Im glad you asked
