Yeah, and time flies, doesn’t it?
Seem like only yesterday you were with your buddies doing some not-always-right and legal (but so fun) things, and now you’re properly in your 30s or 40s.
Kids to maintain and bring up, bills to pay, house to buy….
The youngster time is a song of the past… no question here…
So what do you do to keep up with the weight life is placing on your shoulders?
Give up like a loser? No such option.
So you get a job, earn money, and spend it.
Work more, spend more.
The unexpected happens – cause life likes to sucker punch you now and then
So you pull that credit card,
Use that overdraft,
Get in that loan.
Or all at once… you know how it goes.
And one day you wake up and the last thing you want to do is check your bank account balance… but it ain’t going nowhere – and it only going to go from bad to worse.
You’re stuck.
No, you’re not stuck….
You’re f…ed!
Permanent negative balance.
Work that can not get you out of it by no means… unless you work 24 hours a day 7 days a week… then… maybe.
Your girlfriend begins to lose respect for you (or she did it already),
Your kids aren’t getting younger and after-school classes ain’t cheap,
If something was to happen now…? You don’t even want to think about that….
Oh, and the inflation…. Yeah, that one is a b…ch.
But wait…? That can be it??
The end? Finish??
Hell no!
Did your parents raise small whining p..sy??
No, they did NOT!
Yes, you’re in debt.
Yes, you’re pissed off at everybody.
Yes, you’re out of shape and weak.
Yes, it all resembles a slow downward slope toward miserable retirement….
But sh.t, there are tens of millions of people that would let their hand be cut off for the problems you have.
You’re debt??
That’s nice – someone’s uninsured house with a mortgage has just been wrecked by a flood –
You want to swap places??
You’re pissed off at everybody??
Oh really?? There is a father of three kids that just got divorce papers from his wife that was cheating on him for years when he was providing for the family.
You want to swap places??
You’re overweight, skinny, or weak??
That is sad, really… what are you going to tell this dude that just got out of a car crash – 2 legs cut off, organs smashed, for the rest of his life dependent on others…
Swapping places….?
Get a f…ing grip man!
Seriously!
It is the 21st century! Just by living in the Western, civilized world, you have all the chances and opportunities to get your life straight!
ALL of THEM!
JUST GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER!!
…and stop wasting your time on pointless shit that is occupying your life.
Alcohol? OUT!
Drugs? All of them! OUT!
Staring at the screen like a zombie? OUT!
Shoveling that ordered and processed junk into yourself? OUT!
Spending money thoughtlessly on crap you don’t even need? OUT!
Watching that sick porn, any porn, like a total loser? G.T.F.OUT!
You know well what is dragging you down and keeping you there….
You know very well!
They are all habits.
They haven’t just appeared out of nowhere and will not give up easily.
Be sure about that.
But still… rest assured… any habit can be removed. The trick is to replace it with something from the other end of the spectrum…
But before you even start… there is one thing that you absolutely need to make clear.
Crystal clear.
The WHY.
What is the reason you are going to put that effort, you are going to “sacrifice” a lot of your old habits, and possibly lose some friends along the way.
Once your “Why” is strong enough you can go through any obstacle.
Now all you need to do is start making a choice daily.
And every time when you’re inner bitch voice will be coming up with excuses and reasoning for “waiting just a bit”, other somehow important responsibilities or simply giving you the easy way out of the work ahead simply remind yourself of why are you doing it.
I know it might sound easy and there is much more to it, but it is infinitely better to do even 10%, 5% of what you planned than wait and postpone endlessly for the perfect time to start.
15 minutes of doing something is better than 15 hours of thinking about doing it.
The results will follow.
Salute.
