Dial It Back:

“Outrage is like a lot of other things that feel good but over time devour us from the inside out. And it’s even more insidious than most vices because we don’t even consciously acknowledge that it’s a pleasure.”

Tim Kreider

What if, suggests the author of the article on 7 Superpowers, we all focused on taking responsibility for our own well-being before we started yammering on about who is to blame for our discomfort? There is actually a difference between our daily experience and the high level issues we fret over and fuss about.

What if we dialed back the outrage?

Instead, take responsibility for making your life healthy, purposeful, and reasonably happy. You do you. This is not selfish, this is self-care. Our capacity to serve others is a by-product of the depth of our self-care.

You do you. But think about the You that You wanna become. Now that’s a winning strategy for life under all circumstances.
