"We wanna be free, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do. And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time." 

I used to think this.

That a great life was being able to do, whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted.

Floating around, experimenting, tinkering.

After reading this, I started to reconsider a life well lived.

Mark Manson explores the answer to this existential question:

What should I give a f**k about?

Consumer culture tempts us to care about many, many things. It's easy to focus on trying

everything.

FOMO is strong.

Mark shares that the key to a "happy" life is commitment.

"Ultimately, the only way to achieve meaning and a sense of importance in one’s life is through a rejection of alternatives, a narrowing of freedom, a choice of commitment to one place, one belief."

Commitment gives you freedom because it hones your attention and focus, directing you toward what is most efficient at making you healthy and happy.

What are you committed to?
