what it takes to pursue something for a long period of time
most peopel live their lives passively, taking whatever challenges are placed in front of them by society or their work. i did that for a long time.
instead of deciding what is good and right and important and worthwhile to do with your time and figuring out how to actually make that happen
lots of people just want to grind at a mindless task
i guess we need that aspect too
but people risk spending their whole life in a cult of productivity
when what you need to do is live a good life
The thing is that most of the physical stuff you know or can learn quickly. What really fucks people up is that they do not understand the mental game. Instead of seeing the abundance and feeling gratitude and engaging in love, they envy, put down, react to new people in the present like they were the different people in the past, and all kinds of mess that prevents and gets in the way. Avoid it.
