Amor fati. Love your destiny even if it's the death of the world.
Since the end is certain (thanks to Spengler we know it is) only the way towards the end matters.
Live life for life's sake. Not in the decadent way of L’art pour l’art but in a life-affirming and destiny-actualizing way.
Don't do things because you harbour some sort of optimism. Optimism is cowardice because it does not face life full on. Do some thing because it is the right thing to do. Don't do it because you want to change things. Acceptance of death and then comes the 'even though...!' 'Even though there'll be no future for mine and even though I witness the destruction of the world I will act and I will act accordingly without resolve.'

>'We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honourable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.'

>'This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us. To live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves, to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.'
