First Up: Using A Framework to Escape From Paralyzing Emotions

F: “What Would I Need To FOCUS On To Feel this Way?”
A: “What Would I Need To ACT On To Feel The Way I Want To?”
S: “What Would I Need To SURROUND Myself With To Feel The Way I Want To?”

Yeah, This Takes Some Work, But What The Hell Else Are You Doing?
-If you ask yourself, “Why me?” or “What can I possibly do?” you‘re going to be paralyzed.
-If you ask yourself “What can I do next, from where I am, with what I have,” you’re going to put yourself in a position of strength.
-Ask better questions. Train yourself to be the sculptor of your moods, rather than being tossed about by urgency and externalities you can’t control.
