Congratulations! You have discovered FoolQuest.com Other websites proffer the most trivial advice or blithely over simplistic and flawed solutions that will never help you. Do not be taken in by people working at cross purposes and just too deep in a rut for the bother of simply paying attention to one another!
Even genuinely viable success strategies can more quickly make you miserable, much less all manner of debilitating and evasive scams. As ever, marketing often strives to confuse and inveigle the consumer in to compensation for unmet needs, via the elicitation of positive associations and mystique all seldom actually substantiated in whatever goods or services. For such is the shameless peddling of false hope, taking advantage of epidemic alienation! Hence, in flight from exactly such worldly vexation and deception, many claim solace in religion. Indeed, there are even those myriad disciplines and sophisticated techniques, ancient and arcane or bleeding edge modern, all utterly to cease caring. And others still, ever exhort a willfully positive attitude towards sheer determined drudgery as the path to success, or likewise fitting in socially at any cost, typically demanding either ruthless exploitation of others or else submission to the herd, if not, actually, even both all at once. In truth, however, only precious few of us have ever actually been happy in our travails amid the rat race under such typically oppressive punishment and reward systems as school or employment. -Nor, for that matter, politics and lip service to revolution.
For anyone, as is fashionable, well and adequately content in relentless self manipulation all in order simply to tolerate and make do under the oppressive mediocrity of status quo, there may be precious little need of reading any further. Otherwise, of course virtuous fortitude in forging ahead is always a good recommendation, as if such could ever realty ever so easy! Rather, happiness being contingent upon the exercise and communication of the meaningful values of imagination, adequate range of choice, autonomy, mastery (competence) and achievement, together with connection, self awareness and conscience informed by rationality, the true key to happiness is in the quest for happiness more than in resultant success alone, in any reasonable hope, in the dignity of risk, and also in true friendship. So there can be no simple and straightforward blueprint for living life, but at best, towards any hoped for improvement in our circumstances, the following thorny problem statement and daunting challenge of social aptitude and risk tolerance, all towards the hoped for fulfillment of all such real and vastly underserved fundamental human needs and values as are all seemingly ignored, thwarted, dismissed or trivialized veritably everywhere one turns except for the very frontiers of sheer escapist fantasy. Indeed, according to the latest research, those ever addictive multiplayer video games are now found to produce in simulation, exactly the beneficial sense of competency, achievement and connection, all so woefully absent from the existential dreariness of daily routine!
I write from some experience with repeated failure, indeed even defeat snatched from the very jaws of victory: The plain truth is that having been abandoned to our own devices, in order to actually mitigate the suffering of alienated loneliness and boredom in real life, one general integrative strategy presents itself, so obvious and direct in principle but extremely difficult in endless details and every conceivable obstacle of compatible implementation, all in pursuit of the transitory but renewable experience of fulfillment from fun pleasurable immersive engagement in personally meaningful activity and stimulating interpersonal interactivity as well understood to be requisite to happiness and human flourishing. Happiness being, as it is, an appropriate and relevant subjective response to favorable circumstances, requires any more optimal social environment being crucial in order to intrinsically motivate or inspire determination, productivity, insight, sociability and other such highly functional behaviors or virtues as are all so often observed to be conducive even to hoped for material success in doing what you love. And no less important, also, is undertaking of all the aforesaid convivially in good company, pooling human capital towards larger endeavors beyond the scope of lone effort effort, sagacity, individual skill sets, connections and influence, social support being, after all, so important a predicator of success. Therefore, clearly, outreach, networking, connection and recruitment will each be crucial, all towards the strategic inception and formation of exactly such a specifically agenda directed circle or group, which, though, and as should surprise no one, easier said than done, still seems perhaps the most direct approach. -A unique opportunity to research and implement optimally suitable discourse and conduct, indeed to purposefully forge intentional relationship on our own terms, then to set agenda, draw plans and take action in order gain meaningful control of out circumstances and create value.
