We celebrate those who don\u2019t give a f*ck. We read books to help us become the kind of person that doesn\u2019t give a f*ck. We dream about the day when we will give zero f*cks. Randy Jackson, in a interview on Impact Theory, said that (and I am paraphrasing here) the thing that makes a true star is that fact that they just do not give a f*ck. The irony is, to get to the point that you have zero f*cks given, you have to give so many f*cks that you just do not have any left to give. What does that mean? When we say someone doesn\u2019t give a f*ck, we mean they have determined their own path and they don\u2019t let anything or anyone get in the way of executing on their vision, whatever that is and however that changes. They do their own thing, screw all y\u2019all. They don\u2019t give a f*ck what you think, or what society thinks. How did they get there? Having arrived there myself, I can tell you.. they get there by giving infinitely many f*cks about what THEY think, about what THEY want to accomplish and about THEMSELVES. They care so damn much about their own mission on this earth that they don\u2019t have any care left to give for anyone\u2019s nonsense. So you see, they really do care. They care a lot. Just not about other people\u2019s opinions. And that is the key. If you want to be someone who doesn\u2019t give a f*ck, you first must find a mission on this earth that captivates every single f*ck you could possibly give. You then simply have zero f*cks left to give. Let me give you an example. Jeremy Gilley, of Peace One Day, is passionate about his mission to establish a single day of peace worldwide (September 21st). And he has had great success. People speak about him and say that he charges forth on this mission. He didn\u2019t give a f*ck. That not exactly right. He just gave so many f*cks about his mission that he had none left for all the people who said it was impossible. He had none left for anyone\u2019s nonsense. Make sense? So find your mission. What mission would so captivate your f*cks that you would have none left to give otherwise? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
