As long as you have something to gain or lose from the transaction, you cannot, be at your serene best.
Morality, Holy books, Second Amendment, 69th amendment...
None of these should be the basis of forming your political leanings...
Just look at reality and evaluate for yourself how you can
1) maximize the Goodness and
2) minimise the Devilry & Suffering.
Do not bear any commitment to ideology or belief systems.
Doing that is only manufacturing suffering within yourself and others.
Try giving up on your belief systems, labels, and ideas you hold near and dear to you.
Nothing will collapse without your baggage supporting it.

If you are doing highly creative or intellectually demanding tasks,
you will always underestimate the amount of time you need to complete it.
You will end up needing more time than you initially allotted for it.
Just allow it to happen and work at a higher intensity.

Notice that the current experience is devoid of any meaning.
It just is.
Grasp the meaninglessness of it.
It doesn't provide you any "given" or "facts".
All "facts" you had to learn from somebody else, be it society, school, family etc.
Ultimately Reality is pure Qualia.
Even to suggest that it's a Qualia, i.e. quality, virtue of itself is already adding a lot of baggage of meaning to it.
Just observe reality and deeply appreciate the lack of context.

You have to be disciplined and grounded yourself, but the actual learning process must be undisciplined, chaotic and dynamic as possible.
Do not be conservative in your learning curve.
Break and disrupt all existing models. Dig deeper.

Comparison with others will turn into misery only if you are too lazy to put in the work to bridge the gap between your state and their state.
People in general compare with others and never do work to reach their stage, wonder why they feel like shit.

A Tibetan Lama was speaking to a group of monks.
To make a point, pulled out a large jar, set it on the table in front of him, produced a few fist-sized rocks, and placed them, one by one, into the jar.
When no more rocks would fit inside, he asked:
βIs this jar full?β
Everyone said: βYes.β
He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel, dumped some in and shook the jar, the gravel worked between the rocks.
Again, he asked: βIs this jar full?β
The monks were catching on.
βProbably not,β one answered.
βGood!β he replied and reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand.
He dumped the sand into the jar until it filled all the crevices.
Once more he asked: βIs this jar full?β
βNo!β the monks shouted. βGood!β he said and grabbed a pitcher of water
and poured it until the jar was filled to the brim.
Then he asked, βWhat is the point of this illustration?β
One young monk responded,
βThe point is, no matter how full your day you can always fit some more things in.β
βNo,β the speaker replied, βthe point is that if you donβt put the big rocks
in first, youβll never get them in at all.

Great things are rarely achieved after following an instruction manual which tells you exactly
"how to" do something.
"How to" manuals are only available for simple tasks which many people have done over and over again, and perfected by trial and error.
There exists no pre-existing book which tells you what exactly to do.
Embrace the chaos and authoritatively impose order.
No chaos, no growth.
Observe and act based on principles & guidelines.
Abandoning principles is not a wise move since chaos will get the better of you.

Your society, state and family are experts in crafting a fake sense of safety which will keep you passive, and a feeling that all will be fine in the end.
Then they will put you into avenues which serves the lowest common denominator, and hence quite shitty.
You are alone in this world and you have to figure out everything yourself directly with first hand experiences. Take suggestions, diligently listen, and then carve out your own unique path.
Life is a chess board. Only you make the decisions and face the consequences.
You cannot cheat.

If you are stuck in making a decision, choose the option that is more chaotic and more risky, since that is the route that is going to grow you the most.
Even if that decision ends up backfiring, the growth you have experienced in the process is going to be worth it.
Usually, on top of all these, more chaotic processes have higher rewards.
Always be cold and calculated for all possibilities and be prepared for all outcomes.
