Saying “Fuck it” actually motivates me more than “You can do this”.
Because saying “fuck it” includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile “you can do this” focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety
“you can’t do it” motivates me even more than “fuck it” because if someone tells me i can’t, fuck them I do what i want.
