how to turn a flop into a flopportunity

youtube video: https://youtu.be/Y9iQ_MYCIGUnever let a flop go to waste!!!!!Hegel said that negativity is precisely what keeps existence alive. Not negativity in a psychological sense, but in a philosophical sense. You don't know what positivity is without negativity. If you only had the power to do things, you would lose the ability to not do things and rest. If you only think, then your thoughts continuously scatter and you lose the ability to reflect and contemplate. If you only slay then you are at risk of burnout and it would eventually become meaningless without the contrast of flop to anchor your slay. Friction, resistance and pain are necessary to indicate the possibilities of growth. Overly focusing on them can create the risk of unnecessary suffering. Practicing bringing awareness and intention to sovereign decision making is how we start to navigate the inevitable oscillation between flop and slay in a way that facilitates Being Hot & Having Fun!!! yayayayaa(ref: The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han)The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Hanhttps://amzn.to/4xxaHy3 (affiliate link)00:00 - 00:54 - intro00:54 - 01:34 - in flop there is slay, in slay there is flop01:34 - 02:21 - what have you been conditioned to optimize your life for02:21 - 03:27 - the hidden cost of maximizing efficiency 03:27 - 04:49 - be selective & specific about the types of challenges you are open to04:49 - 07:01 - flopping is a training opportunity07:01 - 08:25 - life happens in cycles08:25 - 09:51 - maybe you haven’t flopped enough yet09:51 - 12:26 - welcoming challenges as growth opportunities12:26 - flop and slay is a spectrum not a binary12:57 - social media - monitoring spirit behaviour & cancel culture purity tests13:38 - entertainment & education14:39 - hate can’t land if you’re a moving target15:11 - which flop is your responsibility16:54 - increase your surface area for slay18:47 - lean into minor inconveniences23:18 - using conflict as a training opportunity24:25 - adjust your approach according to what’s at stake26:12 - controlled and intentional crash outs27:29 - knowing what you don’t like is just as important29:03 - once you’ve been through the flop you don’t even want to think about it29:24 - have a sense of humour follow me on IG ☆ https://instagram.com/amberakilla/
