People are powerless without your reaction, preserve your energy.

The Girl from the Other Side, dir. Yutaro Kubo

what worked for me in the past is outdated. that mindset is outdated. the boundaries are outdated. those habits are outdated. leveling up requires shedding outdated methods and embracing growth. a new mindset, revised boundaries, and upgraded habits accompany each level-up. adaption is key to sustained personal development.

“As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It’s all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?” ― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
