Take the statement, "Nothing in Life matters."

And you can interpret it in two ways.

  1. Why should I do anything because nothing matters?

Or

  1. Oh my goodness how freeing it is that I can do anything and create anything because nothing matters.

Once I understood this distinction it freed me up from existential dread and allowed me to focus on creating my reality.

Agree with the second one. We are just a particle in the universe, we can do whatever we want (between the social norms required), that is a good-feeling.
