Thinking about oneself can be a source of unhappiness, but some reflection is necessary to work on personal weaknesses. It's important to differentiate between productive reflection and self-obsession that leads to depression.

Detachment from personal problems is not a goal but a byproduct of realizing what truly matters. To find happiness, one should focus on larger missions or problems beyond themselves.

People often focus on what they can't control, which can lead to stress and dissatisfaction; shifting focus to what you can control is essential for happiness.

Overthinking about oneself may not directly cause depression, but it certainly exacerbates it, and there's a direct correlation between how much you think about yourself and how miserable you are.

The less you think about yourself, the more you can focus on meaningful missions, spirituality, or caring for others, which can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Self-pity has no utility; it does not contribute to progress or success, and focusing on action is more beneficial.

When faced with emotional challenges, it's beneficial to focus on the problem at hand, take breaks, and then return to it for effective coping.

Your focus determines your experience of life; focusing on what's wrong can lead to a negative mindset, while focusing on what's right can enhance your happiness.

I believe that to stew over a problem is not the way to solve it; instead, I hold the problems lightly and allow my subconscious to work on them while I'm disengaged.
