A Pure He❤️rt
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled at the foot of a towering mountain range, lived a young girl named Lily. Lily was known throughout the village for her pure heart. Her compassion and kindness radiated from within, touching the lives of everyone she encountered. Lily's days were filled with simple joys. She would spend her mornings tending to the village gardens, carefully nurturing the flowers and plants. In the afternoons, she would visit the elderly, reading to them and offering her company. The villagers admired her selflessness, and her mere presence brought warmth to their hearts. One winter's day, as snowflakes danced in the air, news arrived in the village that a powerful storm was approaching. The villagers hurriedly made preparations to ensure their safety, gathering supplies and reinforcing their homes. However, the storm's intensity grew stronger, and it became evident that their efforts were not enough to withstand its wrath. With great concern etched upon her face, Lily decided to take action. She knew that the villagers needed more than just physical protection. They needed hope and a reminder of the strength that lay within their hearts. Drawing upon her unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity, Lily resolved to seek help from the wise sage who lived high up in the mountains. Braving the icy winds and treacherous paths, Lily embarked on her journey. Each step was a testament to her courage and determination. The villagers watched her disappear into the snowy wilderness, their hearts heavy with worry but also filled with admiration for her selflessness. Days turned into weeks, and the storm raged on relentlessly. The villagers found solace in their memories of Lily's pure heart and unwavering spirit. They held onto the hope that she would return, bringing with her the strength to weather the storm. Finally, one snowy morning, a familiar figure emerged from the blizzard. It was Lily, her face flushed with cold, but her eyes shining with determination. The villagers rushed to her side, embracing her with tearful joy. They marveled at her resilience and wondered what wisdom the sage had imparted upon her. Lily gathered the villagers around her, her voice gentle yet commanding. She spoke of the sage's teachings, reminding them of the power of unity, love, and compassion. She shared stories of their shared struggles and victories, of the deep connections that bound them together. She reminded them that they were not alone in their journey through life. As the storm continued to rage, Lily organized the villagers into teams. They worked tirelessly, clearing paths and reinforcing each other's homes. Through their collective efforts, they not only protected themselves but also formed an unbreakable bond, a testament to the strength of their unity. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Slowly but steadily, the storm began to wane. The village emerged from the white embrace of winter, stronger and more resilient than ever before. Their spirits had been fortified by Lily's unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity. The villagers gathered to celebrate their victory, their hearts overflowing with gratitude for Lily's selfless courage. They praised her pure heart, recognizing that her unwavering belief had guided them through their darkest hours. Lily stood before them, her eyes filled with tears of joy. She thanked them for their trust and reminded them that it was their love and compassion that had truly conquered the storm. The power of their pure hearts, when united, had transformed their village into a fortress of hope and resilience. From that day forward, the village became known as "Pure Heart" in honor of Lily and the indomitable spirit she had ignited within them. The villagers never forgot the lessons they had learned, cherishing the power of unity, love, and compassion that had carried them through the storm. And so, the story of Pure Heart lived on, a testament to the incredible strength that lies within each and every one of us when our hearts are pure and our spirits united.

The magic of not giving a FUCK. Content Warning.
Everyone, including me, has a story about de-cluttering their home. Gathering all of their possessions into the middle of the floor, deciding what brings joy, and then bidding farewell to a set of spatulas in pursuit of a calmer, happier life. But what if we could gather up all of the other stuff - tasks, events, obligations relationships - and drop it at the kerb without a single regret? And by doing so, be free to focus our time, energy, and money on the stuff that really makes us happy? Well, I figured out how to do it. It is great, and I call it, "The life-changing magic of not giving a fuck." I hope you'll excuse my language because there is more where that came from. Before I can teach you how to stop giving a fuck, we have to talk about what it means to give one in the first place. 'Giving a fuck' means you care, right? So, when I say, "I don't give a fuck about 'Game of Thrones,'" I mean, "I don't care about 'Game of Thrones.'" Now, let's take the concept a step further. Let's define your 'fucks' as your time, energy, and money. If you don't care about something, you should stop giving your fucks to it. I don't care about 'Game of Thrones' so I don't spend time watching it; I don't spend energy wondering where the next season is going; and I don't spend my money on the books, merchandise, or anything Westeros related. 'Game of Thrones' does not get any of my fucks. Make sense? By making these calculated decisions, you wind up with more time, energy, and money to spend on the things you really do care about. And I call that "making a fuck budget I'll get back to fuck budgets in a minute, but first, I want to tell you a little bit about how the life-changing magic of not giving a fuck happened to me. Two and a half years ago, I was a senior editor at a major New York publishing house. I had spent 15 years clawing my way up the corporate ladder, I had a roster of best-selling authors, and everything I always thought I wanted from my career was coming to pass. But I was really, really unhappy. The kind of unhappy that makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning; the kind of unhappy that makes it hard to commute 45 minutes on the NYC subway; and hard to spend eight - ten hours at your desk before turning around, going home, and doing it all over again. So, I quit. And making that decision was also really hard. A lot of red wine, a lot of tears. But what came after I quit was nothing short of life-changing. Once I removed myself from the culture and lifestyle of a job that had been making me so unhappy, I was free to focus my time and energy on what would make me happy - including working, but just in a different way - and eventually, on moving from Brooklyn to a tropical island. I stopped giving my fucks to working for a corporation, wearing pants, and taking those long subway commutes. And I started giving my fucks to working for myself, wearing bikinis, and taking long walks on the beach. I'm telling you, life changing. But none of that change happened because I had tidied up my apartment. It happened because I cleared out my mind. Let me try and explain. Imagine your mind is a barn, and inside it is are all of the things that bring you joy, but also, all of the stuff that annoys you. The potential for a happy life is there, but you have to clear out the annoy to make room for the joy. This is mental de-cluttering, and it is magical. I did it by accident when I quit my job, but it was so amazing that I developed a way for you to do it on purpose. I call it "the not sorry method." It has two steps. Step one: Decide what you don't give a fuck about. Step two: Don't give a fuck about those things. Simple, right? But I know what you're thinking: This sounds like a recipe for turning into an asshole. It's okay, I get that a lot. But that's where the "not sorry" part comes in. My method is all about not giving a fuck using honesty and politeness. So, in the end, you don't have to feel guilty. You are on your best behavior, and you have nothing to apologize for. You are quite literally not sorry. You're also not an asshole. So how might the not sorry method work for you? Well, let's say, you love 'Game of Thrones' and you've been invited to a Sunday night dinner party that interferes with watching your favorite show. You feel bad about turning down the invite, but you really love 'Game of Thrones,' and you don't want to record it to watch later because... spoilers. Well, you only have so much time, energy, and money to spend on Sunday night. So, you need to consult your fuck budget. Decide which activity brings more joy and allocate your fuck bucks accordingly I'm telling you, if you respond in a timely fashion, "No thanks, can't make it to that dinner party," you've done nothing wrong. You were honest, you were polite, and you don't have to be sorry about it. And that's just the tip of the fuck-berg. You can apply the "not sorry" method to anything: tasks, events, obligations, even people. You start by making a list of everything that's cluttering up your mental barn; all of the impositions on your time, energy, and money; the fucks you're being asked to give. To keep it manageable, I go by category. So, for example, work is one category, and five fucks on your list might be mandatory meetings, conference calls, your co worker’s charity half-marathon, a going away party for a co worker you don't even like, and doing your actual job. Once you've listed them all out, you perform the "not sorry" method. Step one: Decide what annoys you. Non-essential stuff you don't care about. Step two: Stop giving your fucks in the form of time, energy, and money to those things. Then cross them off your list with a big black marker. It feels good, just go with it. What I'm saying is, yes, you may have to get up and go to work every day, and you may have to attend some mandatory meetings. But you do not have to attend a going away party for a colleague you don't even like. But if you are still having trouble not giving that fuck? I recommend a visualization exercise. Picture how you're going to feel when you walk into that party: annoyed or full of joy? It's been a long day, your feet hurt, you don't love socializing with your colleagues at the office, let alone at a shitty bar You really don't love pitchers of warm Coors Light. So, what should you do? RSVP 'No' of course. Why would you spend your fuck bucks or your actual bucks on this party? I'll tell you why. You do it because you feel obligated and guilty. You are psyching yourself out of a perfectly fine response, "No," before you even try it. Most people just don't think this stuff through. They say "Yes" to things like this right away, then wind up wasting time, energy, and money on an annoying, unenjoyable night out. You waste even more time and energy just dreading the party a week beforehand. And even more, trying to come up with ways to weasel out of your commitment, then worrying you'll be seen as an asshole for
