Do stuff you like. The rest works itself out.
I try to focus on what I like doing and who I like spending my time with. I have found that doing things with the aim of one day being a better or different person than I am just leads to distress. You’ll change anyway, but planning it out doesn’t work so well in my experience.
Life is short and slips away quickly. Use your abilities to further the things that mean the most to you, not on a possibly misguided sense of what you "should" be doing.
This is just how life turns out ime. Focus on more important things.
Stop focusing on yourself. Solve other people's problems.
Not sure if spending time on life advice is better than on life itself.
Dont create goals, create a system for how you live.
Exactly! Focus on the things you can control in life and forget about the rest.
This might sound glib, but figure out what YOU want out of life and optimize for that.
Get done things that matter to you. Focus and happiness become byproducts of the process.
