Codex Vitae personal

Status: 🌱

This is my Codex Vitae, a list of things I believe/follow in life. Feel free to take anything that resonates, but please remember those are things that work for me and may not necessarily work for you.

people

  • Don't be a dick
  • Give everyone a chance, but if they turn out to be not worth the time - remove from life
  • Remember about excuse hydra and avoid it.
  • If you can give some value to someone with low/zero cost - do it.
  • Unsolicited help/advice is worse than lack of it

philosophy

  • Stoicism seems to work really well
  • Don't suffer imagined troubles - if something bad has not happened yet, it's not terrible.
  • You can prepare for the bad thing thou - just don't get stressed about something
  • Happiness comes from things you have control over - from the inside
  • You don't have control over other people's reactions
  • You do have control over your own reaction - anger is easily managed by stopping for a second before reacting
  • Treat every situation like a hand in a card game - you try to play best what you're given, not complain about what you got.
  • There's no "inherent fairness" to the world, some people will have better/worse start than you had - don't waste time and energy complaining about it
