Why You Should Listen:
We all fucking do it! We as a society WANT easy! We want the Life Hack, the cheap, the time saving, effort saving easy!!!!
And it's killing us.
- Fast food - easy and killing our health
- PORN: easy and killing our marriages, sex drives, and social life
- TV/MOVIES: killing our social life and even relationships with our kids.
- PHONE: see above
- Tablets/internet: see above
- Credit cards: spending NOW instead of saving up for things. EASY and killing us (from stress)
- PILLS, MEDICATIONS, SURGERY: really freakin easy versus actually us caring about our health.
So YES, we're freaking addicted to EASY and it's destroying us.
What if you instead embraced the suck and knew that what you ACTUALLY wanted was on the other side of the hard work.
- Health - from real food and real exercise and taking LESS medications
- Wealth - actually using a budget and following it to save for retirement.
- Marriage - not using porn or TV or alcohol or anything else from you having to deal with your spouse and what you messed up.
- Kids - what if you stopped staying at work to avoid the awkwardness you created with your kids.
I hope this triggers you. I hope it pisses you off, because you NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE!
Own it!
Own your pain of your current situation and then freaking get ready to work.
