Your Best Moves Come when you Care the Least

Your best moves come when you care the least.

Because when you care the least, it is decades of ingrained experience and pattern baked into your actions. Very smart. Very informed.

When you care, it is almost guaranteed you are caring too much about something you have no control over. You will take actions that do no map to reality, and surely not to your abilities. It’s mostly virtuous fluff. Very dumb. Very ill-informed.

Not caring is difficult to maintain consistently, because it usually comes when things don’t go our way, making our anger lead to a kind of beautiful authenticity. That authenticity brings opportunity, which brings good things, which calms us down, making us care; settling into more virtuous fluff that goes nowhere. The cycle repeats.

The only way to consistently punch into the world with the real you is to remain activated, provoked, sparked, stimulated, set off and initiated. And the only way to have that is to be immersed in the mess of life. To take chances. To crash the parties of life with your personality, which most people will not like.

The best you is the provoked you. Not necessarily by people, but by the universe’s entropy and patterns.

Nature only grants new things into its fold because some people become nature. They lead by instinct and brash action.

Most don’t need help caring. They need help being.
