happy tuesday! today, let's reflect on a counterintuitive insight from mark manson's the subtle art of not giving a f*ck. "the desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience." this quote challenges us to re-evaluate our pursuit of constant positivity and focus instead on what truly matters.

think about what you're striving for. are you chasing endless positive experiences, or are you focusing on meaningful goals that align with your values? understand that pain and suffering are part of life and can lead to personal growth. embrace these experiences as they shape your character and bring deeper satisfaction.

on this tuesday, maintain your momentum and consistency by prioritizing what you care about most. develop self-awareness to make better decisions about where to direct your energy. remember, true happiness comes from solving meaningful problems and taking purposeful action.

brick by brick,
