Truman's Pathfinder

"The American Dream",

The vision goes as suburban house, good job to retire from, a nice spouse who has a good job, with a couple of nice kids, and throw a dog in there with a picket fence. There is something strange going on, go ahead and take a walk around your neighborhood and see who has this rendition of this lifestyle, if you do let us know. This dream only happens to the top %1 that live in Belmont/Weston, MA and Malibu, CA. For average Americans this reality is almost the polar opposite

*THIS IS NOT FOR THE AVERAGE HOMOSAPIEN**

Everything is temporary
We are social beings with a social duty
Hedonism is not the path to happiness
Fame & Fortune are overrated
A philosophy of life must be lived
Do not long for an ideal situation
Maximize positive emotions and minimize negative emotions

Strategies:

Rephrase goals so that they are entirely within your control
Have nothing you are not prepared to lose
Live simply
Negative visualization
Exercise self-denial
Resist materialism
Accept what cannot be changed
Refuse to consider yourself the victim
Practice misfortune
Live in accordance with human nature


Cheers,
Tru Man
