Is life fundamentally tragic? I really do not know for sure, but I believe in the Mother and Father as forces of goodness and hope at work in the universe, so much that is violent, sick, causing suffering and pain, will be ultimately transmuted into something meaningful, positive and having a point.
God and the Good Spirits, with the help of their human, living angels, will convert to earth to a good and holy place, heaven on earth as well as in heaven. The world may be tragic but the Creators and their underlings do a lot to ameliorate tragic existence and make it bearable, even a harsh blessing in disguise that makes us stronger, better people.

Not An Option
No matter how things go for or against you, it really does not matter: the specifics will just inform your willed outcome to succeed, despite severe, wither adversity. Failure is not an option, because success for you is the goal, no matter how many times you fail, no matter how many years that you struggle forward with little hope, and fewer results. Keep at it, and your ship will come in.
Individuate
Individuate and make God happy. Whether you make the history books, or not, or become a famous, household name, do your thing, and that is its sufficient own reward, and that should be motive enough for you. Becoming rich, famous and adulated may follow, but likely will not.
The Heroic Life
Ayn Rand recommends that the average adult live the heroic lifestyle apart from the pack, following her own end in a mode of rational self-interest.
I advocate very similar self-development plans as each person is to answer God's call to maverize as a living angel. That would be a heroic undertaking.
Rand is unique in suggesting that the maverizing person be heroic over a lifetime in every aspect of her life. Amen.

Build Skill
The individuator knows an awful lot because he never ceases growing, learning, testing, listening, reading, prodding and pushing himself to improve. As his knowledge increases, his skill keeps increasing. Nothing builds self-confidence like being competent and able to do and fix an awful lot.
Our children need to be as handy and practical as farm kids, seemingly able to work on anything and fix anything with very little money, or the right tools. Nothing like a bunch of young people that are doers more than talkers, excellent repairman, talented, clever, ingenious and inventive.
That is a group of young people with all the confidence in the world, and in pinch, they jump right in and solve problems and think for themselves and put themselves up by their own bootstraps. There is no holding them back.
Their confidence is the rock solid, kind with real staying power, and is very impressive. They cannot help but know about good they are, but see no reason to brag about it, our seek cheap praise and tawdry attention.
They just know they are skilled, and know that they can remedy and rebuild about anything under any circumstances with duct tape and a pair of pliers.

Trivialized Exceptionality
The selfie and social media strutting, bragging and posing by young people that are convinced that they are exceptional when they are doing silly, boring, mundane things like playing with their cat or putting gas in the car.
Each human being is laden with miraculous abilities and fantastic potential to emerge as a recognized super-person and great soul, but these enormous status appellations are based on merit. The capacity for exceptionality and personal greatness are always there in each of us, but hard work, decades of focused effort, and the guidance of one's guardian angel are some of the examples of earned excellence.
This is not reality to the self-appointed, self-congratulatory status of instant exceptionality without basis or even modest accomplishment in the factual world out there.
The Good Spirits want us to be self-confident, but strutting, bragging, showing off and being rude to others, sugggesting how superior one is to them--these misbehaviors are the height of rudeness and inconsiderate insult to the feelings of others.
Strutting is immature and callow, and in very poor taste. One need not be a humble person, but one must act humbly in public or on social media, treat all with courtesy and welcome. Bragging that one is above everyone else is not the way to go.

Aethetics And Ayn
I am no expert at aesthetic theory but I like what Ayn Rand wrote about a work of art. She stated that a work of art is the concretization of the artist's sense of life. Not bad.
