why apathy is crap

Apathy is maybe ruining your life.

“But Annika,” people say, “You just have a really nice life. You are just a really happy person. And personal development is so lame. Optimists are just ignorant. I suffer for my ____ (art, skill, money, etc).”

Society has really messed up the way we look at life. We’ve been sold apathy and pessimism to anesthetize our experiences, and make excuses for why our lives aren’t better. I work daily, hourly even, to maintain my joy. It is my most valuable asset and I work for it.

This week’s podcast talks about why apathy (and pessimism, etc) is total CRAP. It’s sold to you by culture to keep you from moving forward. All you have to do is decide not to buy it anymore.

Two warnings: First, this podcast is listed as explicit. A couple of concepts in here could not be explained without ever-so-slightly explicit language. Second, the audio quality is a bit fuzzy. But you are all enlightened beings who know how to forgive (I’ve done a podcast on it) so I think we’ll be fine.

Finally, don’t forget that you can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes, and also leave a review to help other friends find this information.
