Enlightenment?

I’m trying to figure out how I can be happy and stop questioning everything so much. From all my questioning of everything in life the only conclusions I have reached are that there is no good, and there is no bad. There is no right thing because there is no wrong thing. Everything is so subjective, morality is a construct, and nothing really matters as much as you think it does. Calm down and just do your best.

Trying to live up to expectations makes life a living hell. Attempting to be who your parents want you to be, will make you miserable. Wear what you want, do what you want, love who you want because if you don’t, you won’t ever be satisfied with your life.

Stop comparing your life to other people’s. Just live your life and stop worrying if it’s better or worse than someone else’s. If your life is better than someone else’s, you will feel guilty. If your life is worse than someone else’s, you will feel like shit. Neither outcome is a good one, so just stop comparing yourself to everyone. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Being present is the only thing that is important in living. Your life is not something that you should constantly be reflecting back on. Live life, and reflect when you’re old.
