Should I give a f**k? - Off the mat

Should I give a f**k? 

After listening to Mark Manson's The subtle art of not giving a f**k and Everything is f**ked
The answer to should I give a f**k? Is most definitely YES. 
Yes I should give a f**k about the things I care about, the things I am passionate about and most of all the people I care about.
And when everything seems like it f**ked, I should always hold space for hope, because without hope (just like in Star wars) we are f**ked. 


Find the things and people that you care about the most and hold on to hope.
Then whatever the universe may throws at you, you will find a way through it. Sometimes it takes thousands of word to come to the simplest realisation. And it may then take a life time of practice to keep honouring that realisation. 


I really enjoyed these two books and after listening his firstbook, his second is the first ever book I have pre-ordered, it was well worth the wait. Both are full of great advice, heartwarming and some soul jerking stories from Mark Manson. 

I know here I say I listen to the books, that's because audible is my favourite way to absorb my books. I have used listening to books as a way train my mind to not get caught in negative thinking and to train my concentration and focus. I have used listening to books as a form of meditation. I have to listen to the words and not get caught in the thoughts that arise from what is said, just simply absorb the words. Then later when not listening to the book reflect on how what was said  and how they can have impact on my life or the things I want to change or not change in my life. 

I would definitely recommend both these books to anyone on the self development journey. 
Both available on audible or from online book stores just google them.
