Is it true that everything matters ?

I don't give a fuck mentality doesn't mean you literally don't give a fuck about anything or anyone and so you'd rather just get wasted everyday, get high/hammered, fuck every girl you see and basically just throw your life away just because, hey, YOLO. No, that's not idgaf mentality, that's just stupid mentality.

Idgaf mentality is similar to outcome independence - you're going to do what you're going to do because you have a vision for your life and you know what you want. If someone wants to trash you for that, you don't give a fuck. If your actions offends some religious nutcase, you don't give a fuck. If going after what you want pisses people off, you don't give a fuck. If the girl you want to smash outright rejects you, it's cool, you don't give a fuck, 'cause hey, there's another hotter one around the corner.

Stoicism is about placing logic above emotion. It means not to get butthurt over the small things, not to let your ego or whatever emotion you're feeling at the moment get in the way of your decision making.

Because, at the end of the day, all of this are just side goals. You need to have a vision, a goal, a purpose for your life, and (for most people) that's to be the best you can possibly be, to achieve your fullest potential. And to achieve your fullest potential, all the small things like lifting, maintaining frame etc. are important.

Also, it IS overwhelming if you're trying to do it all at the same time. Take it one step at a time. Change is slow. You can't do it all at once. Baby steps. It's a long journey you're on, don't get too excited just yet.

Hope this sheds some light on the seeming contradiction.
