The biggest mistake you can possibly make is to take yourself too seriously.

Realize that on some level you’re a weird animal with a mouth that speaks and a butt that shits. We build up these stories and dramas about what the fuck it means to be human, but in trying to intellectualize the process we lose the connection to the truth. The truth is that these stories we tell ourselves only matter as much as we let them matter. We can choose to have fun. We can choose to be happy more often. We can choose to let the fucking game go. Better yet-we can choose to enjoy playing the game. Whether we “win” or “lose” is of little consequence. The important thing is the joy you feel in your heart.

Life is fun.

Enjoy it once in a while.
