You read that correctly,
I Don’t Give A Fuck.
We’ve all said it.
Maybe you haven’t. Or don’t as a general rule.
Give it a try.
It might be exactly what you need.
I habitually curse more than I would like.
That’s only because when I do curse, I want it to matter.
Like any Power Acronym, I.D.G.A.F. is another piece of the collection, tool in the shed, spell to cast.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a great book by Mark Manson that brought a fresh perspective to the personal development category.
It also inspired too many books to start putting curse words in their titles to sell more copies.
Power Acronym 95 is a polished tongue in pirate’s mouth.
Author James Clear (author of Tiny Habits) wrote a summary of the book that is a great read.
Subtlety #1: Not giving a fuck is not about being indifferent. It just means you’re comfortable with being different. Don’t say fuck it to everything in life, just to the unimportant things.
Subtlety #2: To not give a fuck about adversity, you must first care about something more important than adversity.
Subtlety #3: Whether you realize it or not, you are always choosing what to give a fuck about. The key is to gradually prune the things you care about, so that you only give a fuck on the most important of occasions.
Tim Grover, in his book Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness
"You can't see it. You can't show it off on your clothes. It's internal. The I.D.G.A.F. muscle. The ‘I don’t give a fuck muscle’. It's stronger in some people than in others. It gets stronger the more you use it.
This is the muscle you flex when you need to make critical decisions about your life and your priorities. When others are telling you what to do. Judging your decisions and distracting you from your mission.
You can also use it on yourself. When your fears and doubts are whispering or screaming that you're not good enough and don't know what you're doing. "
This doesn’t mean you have to be an arrogant prick.
It’s important to be humble.
To have gratitude.
To love our neighbor.
