How To Thrive, All The Effin Time

Some courage is needed to talk about thriving in these times. Coping would be a better word to describe the situation of many, many people. The situation is looking dire and it doesn’t look like is going to end soon. And, still, I’m as bold as to use the headline ´How to thrive all the effin time´? You might be thinking I’m just a bumptious bastard. But don’t worry, I will not let you down. Not with philosophy on my side.

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
― Marcus Aurelius

Your problem is a problem because you look at it as a problem. Even worse, you see your problem as a curse, and once you do that, you will indeed be doomed. But the important part of this argument is that you are the one making something out of something, in this specific case, a problem out of “a reality” within life. As in, you are the one making it a problem.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so, said Shakespeare. I’m sure you’ve heard this quote a thousand times by now, but can you really say you understand what Shakespeare meant with it? We’ll get back to that.

So, how do you thrive all the effin time then?
