Where Does The Inverted Curve Apply?
- Control- The more we accept our feelings and impulses instead of controlling them, the more we’re able to direct and process them.
- Freedom- It’s only by limiting ourselves–by choosing and committing to certain things in life–that we truly exercise our freedom.
- Happiness- Trying to be happy makes us less happy. Accepting unhappiness makes us happy.
- Security- Being comfortable with uncertainty is what allows us to feel secure.
- Love- The more we try to make others love and accept us, the less they will, and the less we will love and accept ourselves.
- Respect- The more we ourselves respect others, the more they will come to respect us.
- Trust- The more we try to make people trust us, the less inclined they will be to do so.
- Confidence- The more we accept our faults, the more comfortable we will feel in our own skin.
- Change- The more we accept ourselves, the more we will grow and evolve.
- Meaning- The more we pursue a deeper meaning or purpose to our lives, the more self-obsessed and shallow we will become.

#4: The Law of Respect
We fear that others will not respect our boundaries. We focus on others and lose clarity about ourselves.
If we love and respect people who tell us no, they will love and respect our no. Freedom begets freedom.
Acceptance
Do you find yourself saying to loved ones 'If you love me, can't you change for me?' That is not love. Loves true face is acceptance and freedom, not restriction and control.
Unhappiness vs Depression
Unhappiness and depression are on the same platform. They both are caused due to our disconnection from what makes us happy.
