People often ask me, O dear Koyaanisqatsi, how can you be so awesome? How can you be so sane in this crazy new world? How can you manage not to fall into submission of anything but rational?

Koyaanisqatsi is so awesome he's giving out his secrets in dealing with daily bullshit that you most likely will encounter in the new world!

This article is a symbol of Koyaanisqatsi's gratitude for all of you honest, hard working eAustralian for your vote and especially your trust in Koyaanisqatsi!

Let's get cracking, shall we?

1. Lower your tolerance for bullshit


I've found that the longer I'm in eAustralia, the less bullshit I am willing to tolerate. Toxic people, bad behavior, activities I participated in for other people not myself… I don't have time or patience for it anymore. Maybe it's because you realize in your whole eLife that half it is behind you and you never know how much more is in front of you, so why waste it on people or things you don't like? Fact is, there are people who are consumed by negativity and delusion and constantly want to talk/vent about anything. Don't engage! The more you talk about it or hear about it, the more life you give it and the more it will bother you.
TL😉R: Don't feed the bullshit and give it life.

2. Higher empathy quotient.


I've always been an overachiever, and I'm expecting a lot from myself, I think I expected too much from others, too. Maybe it's because my troubled childhood, or simply maybe it's because I'm too awesome. Whatever it is, I've learned to slow down, listen when people talk and try to hear between the lines, and try to understand where they're coming from. We're all doing the best we can.
TL😉R: Do listen and understand

3. Keep good company and stay away from the drama queens/kings.


There are people who make mountains out of everything. What's worst, they feel obligated to share their with everyone. Keep these people away. They are life suckers. If these drama queens/kings happen to be a work friend, just let them know you'd rather not talk about work BS and change the subject. If they are friends, they should understand. Talk to people who are light and have shared interests.

4. More patience.


While my bullshit tolerance has gone down, I think I have gained a little more patience. I've never been good at that, but you drop a few balls sometimes.. So you have to learn to roll with the punches. It makes me much more understanding when things don't go as planned.
TL😉R: well.. yeah

5. More inward focus, less outward.


I don't know about you, but the longer I'm lurking here, the more I find myself seeking out things that will make me more balanced on the inside. Finding more meaning in my creative work, forging deeper connections with golds people I care about, letting go of the past so I can see what's in front of me… All of these things matter more to me today than they ever did before.
TL😉R: don't get too attached to things, learn to let go.

6. More incentive to stay strong.


Let's face it, after long time on the new world, you've experienced everything. It can make you feel ancient — if you let it. And it's hard to watch your older relatives struggle with retardation and desperate-related issues. If you've ever seen what cancer or Alzheimer's can do to someone you love, you know what I mean. It inspires me to eat healthier, work out more and try to take better care of myself so that I can stay strong for eAustralia.
TL😉R: Stay sharp, stay rational, stay sane!

But most of all, stay loyal to Dear Father! You will be awesome!
