Want a Miserable Life? Do These 7 Things.

Happy Monday! Let’s start the week off right.

Quote of the Day

“The best way to live a miserable life is to pay attention to what other people are saying about you”

Paulo Coelho

Spend all your energy worrying about what others think of you, and I promise you, a miserable life is what you’ll get.

Alright, let’s get started:

Want a Miserable Life? Do These 7 Things.

I’ve got a hypothesis:

Living a miserable life is easy.
Living a great life is much harder.

That’s why everyone’s always going on about how to live a great one.

And if you’re here, I’m guessing you’re on that same hunt.

Looking for a better life.

By now, you’ve probably scrolled through all the typical:

“How to crush ___”

“9 steps to improve ___”

boring.

Let’s switch it up.

Because if there’s one thing I know, it’s how to live a miserable life:

1. Compare Yourself As Often As Possible.

This is a classic.

Want to feel like you’re never enough?

perfect.

Here’s how:

Open social media daily. Better yet, multiple times a day.
Find people who have what you want—the body, the money, the lifestyle.
Start comparing immediately. Blame life, your circumstances, or whatever else is convenient for why you’re not there.
Feel bad. Give up.
Repeat every day for maximum misery.

If your goal is to stay stuck and miserable, this one’s a surefire way to get there.

2. Take NO Responsibility.

You did nothing wrong!

You’re not wealthy only because you weren’t born into money.
You’re not fit only because of your unlucky genetics.
You’re not successful only because people keep getting in your way.

Blame everything and everyone else.

Never hold yourself accountable.

You’re the victim!

Stick to that, and I promise, you’ll live a life of misery.

3. Make No Adjustments.

You’re working toward something.

But it didn’t work out the first time?

no way.

Well, obviously, the answer is to do the same thing again.

Try again. Fail again.
Keep repeating it until you’re stuck at step one forever.
Ignore all feedback, advice, or common sense.

Never reevaluate your approach.

Ignore all data.

There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, right?

Just keep doing it until you eventually quit, blaming yourself (or others) for failing.

4. Copy The Majority.

Why in God’s name would you do anything differently from what everyone else is doing?

You want to be part of the 1% which must mean copying the 99%.

right?

Eat like them. Skip the grocery store. Order in. Extra points for fried food.
Vegetables? Too bland and expensive. Not as good as that Big Mac.

Working out? Nope, stay comfy at home.

Don’t leave that chair you’ve been warming up all day.

Oh, and don’t forget to:

Read as little as possible.
Drink every weekend, 2-3 times for good measure.
Spend all your money immediately on clothes and cars—don’t waste it on things like investments or a gym membership.

5. Keep Your Ego As Large As Possible.

You’re the smartest person in every room.

obviously.

So, what’s left to learn?

No one can teach you anything.
Courses? Complete waste of time.
Mentors? You don’t need them.
Ask no questions.

Stick with what you know, and never try anything new.

If you follow this, you’ll stay exactly where you are.

Forever.

6. Have No Routine.

Here’s how you should structure your day for maximum chaos:

Wake up whenever. 10 a.m.? Sure. 1 p.m. tomorrow? Why not?
Follow it up with whatever you feel like—scrolling TikTok, playing video games, whatever.
Skip workouts. Keep your days as random as possible.
Go to bed at different times every night. No plans for tomorrow? Perfect.

This is how you ensure you stay stuck and make zero progress toward your goals.

7. Learn But Never Apply.

You’ve got dreams, right?

So, obviously, the first step is to learn as much as possible before you start.
