This is it. Fuck it. It is what it is.

Tip of the hat to Nigel for finding this

Paul talks about the power of the triumverant expression:
"This is It, Fuck It, It Is What It Is"
A powerful mantra like phrase that can get you through almost any difficult situation or magical moment.

Killin' It is wireless motivation for a new generation.

Killin' It is a mantra. Its a philosophy that's as simple or as complex as you like. When we say I'm Killin' It we know the basic meaning of the phrase. Were on top of it, ready to meet life head on at work or play. Killin' It doesn't conform to social mores or expectations. The growing numbers of people who have succeeded at Killin' It form social ties that dont just land them a network-based glad-handed favor, they make friends for life; an extended family of some of the most entertaining, good-hearted, humble, and successful people currently alive.

Fuck It - A New Spiritual Way

Saying Fuck It is like massage for the mind. Relaxing you, releasing tension, giving up on things that arent working. John C. Parkin argues that saying Fuck It is a spiritual act:

That it is the perfect western expression of the eastern ideas of letting go, giving up and finding real freedom by realising that things dont matter so much (if at all).

This sounds like a shorter version of the Litany of Gendlin:

What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.
—Eugene Gendlin

I like it because it is like The Way of Bucket Guy.

Bucket Guy said "Fuck it; I Don't Wanna Deal With It".

this really resonates with this uhhhh "spiritual path" I've been on for about a year now.

It's this little known sect of Discordia called Wingitism.

pronounced Wing-It-Ism

it's blasphemous to define it too much, so I'll just give you the gist:


JUST WING IT.


What are you doing tonight? I'm going to wing it.
What's for dinner? We're gonna wing it.
What movie do you want to see? Eh let's just go to the theater and wing it.


Wingitism orients your actions onto your momentary impulses and desires. It's a religion of spontaneity and fluidity. A wingitist is never disappointed because he puts no stock in anybody's plans. Plans fall apart easily, just wing it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Winging it is an important skill for planners to cultivate, in order to help them learn to let go of expectations. Likewise, some people who wing it all the time may find that they are unable to connect in certain ways with others, and must cultivate the skill of planning ahead in order to be well-rounded.

[Cramulus]

I'm a moderate wingitist.

[Adios]

Fluidity is very important. I have seen people actually lock up when plans went awry.

Cee Lo Green - FUCK YOU - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU



Cee Lo is a maniac. He's half of Gnarls Barkley. He just finished this awesome project called Broken Bells, a team-up between him and Danger Mouse, who himself is an awesome maniac. And now he's spitting solid gold motown hits. Bless his fat black ass.

[LMNO]

I thought Broken Bells was Danger Mouse and the dude from the Shins....?

Gnarles Barkley is Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse.

In general, I enjoy shouting defiant phrases as mantras.  I always did wonder if it could really just be me.
