If you believe morality has gone down, maybe do some small and random acts of kindness.
If you believe people aren’t nice to each other anymore, try being nice and helpful yourself.
If you believe there’s too much superficial content on YouTube, maybe stop watching them, and start watching those that are genuinely good.
If you believe that big publications are taking over, start supporting a couple of smaller publications.
If you believe local businesses are struggling, do make an effort to shop locally.
If you believe education is lacking, maybe start a YouTube channel or something. (I love The Coding Train and Eddie Woo.)
If you believe people are becoming increasingly isolated, make sure to reach out to your friends, family, and neighbours.
If you believe that society is acting like a poopy-pantsed four-year-old who dropped its ice cream, maybe write a self-help book for societies, exactly like Tim Urban did.

“I split problems into two groups: muddy puddles and leaky ceilings.
Some problems are like muddy puddles. The way to clear a muddy puddle is to leave it alone. The more you mess with it, the muddier it becomes. Many of the problems I dream up when I’m overthinking or worrying or ruminating fall into this category. Is life really falling apart or am I just in a sour mood? Is this as hard as I’m making it or do I just need to go workout? Drink some water. Go for a walk. Get some sleep. Go do something else and give the puddle time to turn clear.
Other problems are like a leaky ceiling. Ignore a small leak and it will always widen. Relationship tension that goes unaddressed. Overspending that becomes a habit. One missed workout drifting into months of inactivity. Some problems multiply when left unattended. You need to intervene now.
Are you dealing with a leak or a puddle?”

*Operationalize things/words*
These definitions and defining these words and boiling them down to the most basic version is simply amazing...helps a lot.
1)
Patience is just finding something enjoyable to do in the meantime.
2)
Sadness is perceived lack of options/options - which is ignorance problem - so Knowledge is the answer.. learning
3)
Anxiety is the opposite - which is having too many options - priority problem - taking Descisions is the answer.
4)Strategy is just prioritzing
5)Effort are the things you must begin doing that you do not want to do.
6)Sacrifice is the opp. Things that you stop doing that you want to do.
7) Learning is same condition new behaviour.
8)
Speed is not doing things fast.
Speed is not getting distracted by the other shit that doesn't matter.

The car ran over Chica. My son screamed. In that brief moment everything that Max had worked for, everything he had overcome, everything that he was living for, was gone.
