Hard Truths
« on: June 10, 2017, 06:36:31 AM »
There are some lines I'm not willing to cross in pursuit of the things I want.  One of those is how much time and effort I am willing to put into pursuing further success.  From an ego perspective it is hard to accept the hard truth that what is holding you back is likely you, and it is your choice.

If you are sitting on the couch rather than being out in the rat race trying to get better, it's your choice

Very true, my old man once told me that in this country if you want to be a bum no one will hold you back. If you want to be a millionaire, no one will hold you back. It's all up to you what you want from this life.

I think this everytime a grown man starts talking about 'building muscle'


Or anything that's a 'supplement' with a neon or green label

So not true...Many times it's your own parents who sabotage you...

That's loser talk.  Anyone halfway normal can be a millionaire in this country if they are willing to put in the effort.

It's not all about the money. Some people value free time more.

Free time can also be the Devil's advocate. That is the beauty of life. Decisions.

People who associate happiness with how far they get along in the rat race will never be truly happy

No one will hold you back from wanting it, you mean?  Or from making the actual money?

I  saying I'm not willing to kill myself 12-18 hours a day for years on end pursuing a singular goal.  Some are.  They'll get more.  Accept it.

The ego is the enemy, this life is but one happening, what you do in this lifetime has little bearing on anything, enter infinite like the mystics and sages of the past.


Enlightenment is the only true path to joy, happiness is fleeting.
