I’m just recommending 90 days to this guy. Personally I didn’t eat a single calorie from a plant-based source during all of 2021. You don’t need vitamin supplements if you eat beef, eggs, and liver because of how many vitamins and minerals and other micronutrients those foods contain and also how bioavailable they are. Liver is the single most nutrient-dense and vitamin-packed food on Earth. People don’t realize how nutritious eating animals is. And having no fiber in your diet is absolutely glorious — it means you never fart and the volume of your poop decreases by 75% and your digestion feels incredibly smooth. It is just win-win-win.

This is something I've been doing since the pandemic hit: Set yourself a project each year. Learn something new, get good at it and apply it over a 1 year project (depending on what it is you might divide the project into several phases).

It could literally be anything that interests you. Electronics, car audio, carpentry, automotive restoration/mechanics/customization, welding, upholstering, landscape design, PC building, painting, learning an instrument, videography, interior design, home renovation... Anything at all.

There is a bunch of material online these days about literally anything anyone would ever want to learn... and the idea is that at the end of the project you've actually learned heaps, made something useful and you'll never be bored again :)

Don't fap. Will make you inattentive to your wife and that ruins relationships.

​

Read. Journal. Disconnect from the screens. Nothing is there.

Write down what your appreciate. Write down what you want to do for other people, what you dream about.

Design. Draw and sketch. Practice your perspective and plan for summertime.

​

Just get up earlier in the morning. Make them breakfast. Read. Work out.

Getting up early will give you more quality time with them too.

Reddit lets you make custom feeds, so I make ones of animal subreddits (there are SO MANY out there) and my various hobbies! If you replace the bookmark/shortcut/app you usually use to access Reddit with a link to a custom feed, it’ll help you change your media consumption faster than you can change your habits!

Some of my personal favorite animal subs are the very specific ones, such as r/catsstandingup, r/dogue, r/CatsISUOTTATFO, r/shrimping, r/babushkadogs, and r/longboyes.

Yes, some people find themselves in very difficult situations. In my view, that doesn’t change the approach. You still need to identify small steps you can take. These steps need to be guided by what you consider an improvement/positive/well-being. You still need to keep growing to attain more of the thing you want in life (even if some are out of reach, not all are). And your mindset is what makes you react to the world positively.

My grandfather became a widower in his 50’s. He remarried at 63 and had time to have two children and see two grandchildren which he always wanted (first wife couldn’t have children).

There are moments of pain and grief, but keeping the things you want as the goal (even if you can’t manage all) is essential if you intend to pursue a life you care for. This doesn’t mean that we’re always well, sometimes we are pretty unwell.

Please understand that I intend this as encouragement, not as a denial of great difficulties in life.

I wish you the best.

Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete?

Proving nature's law is wrong it

learned to walk with out having feet.

Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,

it learned to breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete

when no one else ever cared.
