Your note is absolutely correct

Pain of discipline now or the pain of regret later..

100% The hardest of all, however, is objectively assessing something that goes against your beliefs. Could you do it?

There is a psychological aspect missing. Edward Bernays knew it so deeply, he urged, demanded his wife to not watch or read any of his ads regarding cigarettes. He knew the sustained and lasting effects of propaganda, hypnosis, & subliminal messaging. A lot of normies are truly under a spell. Have you ever fought with an alcoholic? An addict? Or a person who "chooses" to stay with their abuser until their abuser kills them? I have. Not only as a personal experience, but also in what used to be my line of work. We forget that our brains are translators of our environments. As thus, they must absorb, assess, regurgitate, and send to the rest of our body how they understood their input. Learning and belief come from hearing/seeing, repetition is the most powerful and fundamental tool used when teaching/learning. Now, I'm not trying to justify IN ANY WAY the alleged/apparent laziness of a lot folks. I sure have and continue to witness that too. But, the best way to tell the programmed away from the lazy may only be exposure and the length of it. The lazy will revert to the old habit, while the deprogrammed formerly under the enslavement of the old program will appreciate and stay in the straight and narrow. My two sats based on the limitation of my life and ex-career experience. 😉

Pretty damn accurate. My dad has this old saying which basically translates to “do the work now so the future is easier, because time passes no matter what.” I think about that often, when I want to tap out just because it’s hard.

Cuban house has adopted the phrase "choose your hard"

Sats earned on this note!

Having lots of children? Hard. Starting your own business? Hard. Saving and investing? Hard. Hodling bitcoin? Hard. Thinking for yourself? Hard. Working out? Hard. Eating right? Hard. *Reading Bible everyday? Hard. I need to be successful at all of these as they improve one’s quality of life. Thanks HODL.

4/7 ain’t bad is it

Exactly, everything requires our effort to achieve it, that is why we have to be strong to fight for our future.

Just say it: Life is hard. And that’s ok.

💯

Agree with the sentiment, but question the objectivity of this list. Is having lots of children objectively good for all people? Should every one start their own business?

Does two children and a dog count for no,1 ?

What is it about modern culture that has pushed people to seek out life on easy mode?

“Easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life”

hey feelsgoodman i do all these except #1 😭 😭 😭

i mean yea. i run sin 3 he marathons. hard. i’m also 40 years old w the diet of a teenager. eating right? hard. can’t win ‘em all. life is hard homie. all of it.

Being scared of hard things sounds hard, what is the definition of a pre-normie?

it's a vicious cycle.

6/7. Need to start a business but have no idea what I want.

This is so true!!! Not all of them maybe, but most of them.

The first one is random af 😭 throw that one outta there

@HODL holding, thinking, working out. These cost nothing. Anyone can do them if they chose to. Having kids, eating right. These are not without cost. The things on your list are no all equal. If you want specific examples; I could not afford to have more kids and continue to live where I do. For me this is more than difficult it is untenable. I have traveled to places where the options that people have are eat what is available or don’t eat.

None of these are hard if one has conviction.

try telling a normie that!
