KG_SMMA 's Key Ideas from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
by Mark Manson

Constant positivity is unrealistic. Accept your flaws and limitations to build resilience.

True happiness isn’t the absence of problems; it’s the joy you get from overcoming them.

Even if it’s not your fault, it’s still your responsibility to deal with life’s challenges.

Learn to say no to things that don’t align with your values. It’s okay to disappoint others.

Growth comes from embracing discomfort and facing challenges head-on.

Stop trying to control everything. Letting go allows you to focus on what you can truly influence.

Choose values that are internally driven (e.g., honesty, creativity) rather than external validation (e.g., fame, wealth).

Life is short. Focus on what really matters and make every moment count.

Caring too much about what others think robs you of authenticity. Live for yourself.

Failure is an essential part of growth. Use it as a learning experience to improve.

You don’t have to be extraordinary to live a fulfilling life. Ordinary is enough.

Your mind often exaggerates fears and doubts. Question your thoughts and challenge assumptions.

Don’t wait for motivation to act. Start small, and momentum will follow.

True fulfillment comes from contributing to something beyond your individual desires.

The more you chase happiness, the more it eludes you. Accept life as it is to find peace.

Everything worthwhile comes with its own set of challenges. Pick the struggles worth enduring.

Life is unpredictable and messy. Embrace the chaos with humor and humility.

In the end, your regrets will stem from not living according to your own values and passions.
