Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream. There's a tremendous amount to risk to playing it safe. Bill Burr

>Except for a few places and people, folks in the gym would be happy to see you come in and learn and get better. To me, there is nothing more inspiring than seeing someone try at something they are not good at.

I agree with you because I am one of those people. I had to study a lot before going to the gym and the first phase wasn't easy, but it's good that I didn't give up.

I understand your point of view, what I mean is that every time we want to go to the gym, the thing that stops us is always going to the gym and being afraid that people will judge us. I want everyone to get through this step before thinking about the next good thing, because you have to have enough confidence to practice to be able to maintain it.

Incredibly underrated advice. Really REALLY good to keep this in mind.

EDIT: To all of you complaining about how bad your life is and how this advice is bad ... in reality, you guys need to follow this advice the most. Appreciations and perspective are key to getting through some rough times.
