The ticket to emotional health, like that to physical health, comes from eating your veggiesthat is, accepting the bland and mundane truths of life: truths such as Your actions actually dont matter that much in the grand scheme of things and The vast majority of your life will be boring and not noteworthy, and thats okay. This vegetable course will taste bad at first. Very bad. You will avoid accepting it. But once ingested, your body will wake up feeling more potent and more alive. After all, that constant pressure to be something amazing, to be the next big thing, will be lifted off your back. The stress and anxiety of always feeling inadequate and constantly needing to prove yourself will dissipate. And the knowledge and acceptance of your own mundane existence will actually free you to accomplish what you truly wish to accomplish, without judgment or lofty expectations. You
