Finding the one that does work I think is an important process in succeeding though....

Middle out compression y'all

It reminds me of this quote too

“In the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation”—Alain de Botton

Pain is built in to reaching goals

Fuck Edison. Didnt invent shit, just sold other peoples inventions under his name.

There are objectively bad people out there.

I think this is a great way to represent the growth to be found by allowing yourself to actively process your emotions instead of letting them run rampant in the background.

No, I said 'M' as in Mansi

Omg this af!

No, but I'm noticing how you chose to mischaracterize the position as if it were an extreme absolute as your first step in arguing. It means you have a weak point to make. Not really interested in wherever you were going there cause you're starting off by signaling that you will be making cheap, low quality arguments.

People have strong tendencies to not give to give themselves credit for all they've been through. That's all this is getting at. Slap yourself upside the head and tell yourself that things don't have to be 100% literally true in every single case to have value as advice. I've worked with a lot of people who struggle with being too literal about everything, so I assume that's all that's happening here for you.

Omg this!

Thanks for this, saw that someone went and downvoted everyone who just appreciated the post. Whoever that person is..you've got some problems and genuinely need therapy.

So glad I read this, I thought I was gonna actually have to deal with everything I was avoiding 😅

Paul Ryan liked Rage Against The Machine when he was a top contributor to the machine.

Then you handled the fallout from not handling it. I didn't do my taxes for the longest time in my twenties, government just kept my refunds and chased after me one year when they thought I made more money than I did. So not handling it caught up with me, and then I had to handle that. You learn that putting things off can make them worse, and then you handle that life lesson.

If you're alive, it means it didn't need to be handled.

And yet they're right. I've never met a single person that had it easy and yet people don't give themselves enough credit for surviving. A lot of people think they're weak who haven't bothered to look back at all they've been through.

Challenging people to take stock of how strong they are is noble and important at any age. Whether or not something makes you cringe is the least important thing in the world, and the type of person who says "cringe" to this is a helluva lot less mature than the angsty 12 year old. Nice self own though, grow up.

So you’re saying everyone is awesome strong and bad-ass?

How would you know having not lived in their shoes? Research "fundamental attribution error."

"Time to get busy living, or get busy dying."

Sounds like you need to handle that some stuff wasn't as important to you as others thought it should be.

Unless you're Bill & Teds adventure... Then you're born EXCELLENT.

You’ve got to be joking…especially your first comment. No one is that oblivious.

I feel this. Sometimes I try to just be the best that it’s easy to forget the time and the steps it takes
