What is GFDA:+

GFDA is the bearer of messages from your own heart. What we say is nothing new, we simply put things in a way that you can’t ignore.

From truth, purpose; from purpose, fulfillment. The truth is that this life is a struggle, it’s a contest. Your purpose is to use up every bit of your potential participating in life. You are called to face a challenge. Accept it with dignity. From contending—perhaps to be injured, certain to be hurt—you will find a respect for yourself that can be attained nowhere else. From enduring the struggle, you will learn the true value of compassion and a proper use of your power.

These things cannot be given, they must be earned. We offer you this, and nothing more: the light of old wisdom to guide your steps, and the fruits of our experience to nourish you on your journey.

Happiness isn’t a reward. Strength isn’t gained without effort. Love isn’t something you get from someone else. Life is made bearable in the bearing of it. The meaning of life reveals itself when you stop looking for it and start living with sincerity. Fulfillment will come at last when you have given all that you have.

We want that for you.

TL;DR: You deserve this book. It will make you better and it's fun to read.

DTFW is full of advice that is both wise to follow and beautiful to look at, and it's all nestled among pages of an engaging story. Reading it was a mix of out-loud laughter and "oh, crap" moments when advice hit a bit too close to home. Make no mistake, this is not feel-good "you can do it!" encouragement--it will challenge you, if you let it. I had to stop and reflect on almost every piece of advice, because it was applicable, it was real, and frankly it hurt a little bit to consider. This one hit me hard:
"Stop f'ing around.
Stop whoring out your attention to online shopping and cat videos. All those distractions are going to impact your performance, and you're bound to end up with something leaking from your creativity" (page 38).
There's more to this one, and text doesn't do it justice, but I *know* I've been doing this lately, and I *know* it's getting in the way of achieving my goals. And apparently, so do Brian, Jason, and Jason, damn them. And they seem to keep knowing, page after page.

The tough advice is lightened by hilarious storytelling about the origins and growing pains of the authors' company, which both motivates the advice and makes the book a bit easier to read than page after page of nonstop painful advice would be. As a result, I'm coming away from it with a strong urge to *do things* rather than cry about how everything is hard (even though it is).
