Saying “Fuck it” actually motivates me more than “You can do this”.
Because saying “fuck it” includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile “you can do this” focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety

“saying ‘fuck it’ includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome”
This was probably the way Megamind was able to continue motivating himself to keep up with the evil plots. He knew he was going to fail every time, but he kept trying, learned from every failure, devised new plans, and said “fuck it” before enthusiastically diving in.
