this hack makes life less intimidating.

The word apparatus refers to “a complex system of tools, machines, or devices used for a particular function.” So, it’s something that helps you do something else. It can be a physical tool, a system, or it can be a *mechanism* that can aid and help you carry out a particular activity. With this being said, the main assertion of this video, is that life is about approaching every situation with the mindset of, “**I just need to find the apparatus, tool or mechanism that works here,**” instead of the more common, In most cases, if something feels extremely difficult or impossible, it is not reflective of your ability, rather it is reflective of a flawed, or **insufficient approach**. See yourself as someone who can carry out all things, if you had the manual that told you how to do so. Instead of going right to feeling, reacting, self-pitying, or allowing the tension of frustration take hold, you understand that life is simply about finding ***your specific* mechanisms**, that allow you to move through whatever is in front of you “*What is my apparatus here?”* This philosophy in and of itself is a mechanism that you can internalize so deeply, that it turns your ebbing and flowing existence as a person into that of a game, where you cannot lose. A framework that takes much of the saturation and potency out of pain, and leaves just a sense of peace, order, and sense of natural progression.
