Fuck It: Be at Peace with Life, Just as It Is

Is there a gap between how you'd like things to be and how they are? Most likely there is, and it hurts. It may be a small gap or an enormous ravine, but that gap is the primary cause of pain and unhappiness for a lot of people. What if you said 'Fk It' to the idea of how your life should be and found peace with the way things are? That's going to shake things up and take the edge off your pain and discomfort way more than any quick fix could. But being at peace doesn't necessarily mean being peaceful, and it certainly isn't being passive; it means embracing life in all its colours. Instead of constantly trying to change our lives, ourselves, or the world around us, just say 'Fk It'. This is a radical message that can create radical shifts in your perception of life, just as it is.

John C. Parkin is the author of the bestselling Fk It books.The son of Anglican preachers, John realized that saying 'Fk It' was as powerful as all the Eastern spiritual practices he'd been studying for 20 years. Having said 'Fk It' to a top job in London, he escaped to Italy with his wife, Gaia, and their twin sons, where they now teach their famous Fk It Retreats in various spectacular locations. www.thefuckitlife.com
