Even if my contribution is a drop in the ocean, my drop will be there.

Look for an AMA that was posted not long after yours here in GetMotivated (I can't cross-post a link) from a Buddhist monk. He talks about how to form good habits, among other things.

Read the book “Atomic Habits.” It talks about creating systems for change rather than working toward goals. Also, instead of setting goals, considering the kind of person you want to be, and working from there. Example: if I want to become fit, I’ll create a system of little steps instead of focusing on one goal.
Good luck, my friend!

They left off the "It's not." at the end, so now it doesn't even rhyme. It's just a weird depressing unrhyming couplet that ends two syllables too quickly.

Reply to comment by AngelicDevilz in [Image] it's okay if your life feels like a great tragedy. It's okay to live without happiness or fulfillment, it only means your human and far from alone. by AngelicDevilz
Heard a story in a podcast last night (pardon me if I paraphrase):
A fisherman went about his daily routine — go out on his little boat in the morning, catch a small amount of fish, bring it back, sell some and keep some, and then go home to relax for the rest of the afternoon.
A tourist met him and learned what he was doing and how little his one-man fishing operation was.
"You know," the tourist said, "what you can do is, if you go out again in the afternoon, you can bring back twice as much fish to sell in the market. Then after a while, you can make enough money to buy a bigger boat, and then you can catch more fish. Work hard and you can get together a small fleet of boats, and then you can make more money and sell more fish. Then you keep doing this for a while longer until you make lots of money and become the boss of a large company. And then, finally, you'd have enough money and free time to relax in the afternoons."
The fisherman leaned back in his chair and smiled quietly.

Or even 50-100# of groceries with a rolling trolley

I feel like longing for more is part of the human condition. If we were all content and happy then we would stagnate and the world would never improve.
And yet if that was the case there would be no need for improvement as we would all be happy and content and what could be a better improvement over that?

This is the absolute worst take from 'The Lorax'... Ffs...
> Unless
This quote isn't supposed to be vanilla, corporate motivational guff. It's radical in its suggestions; it positions even the smallest person as having the power to change all of this.
I cannot describe how much I hate this usage.

I've got a friend who used to go on vacations with no plan besides "keep driving that way until we reach the water, then turn around". They'd go all the way from the Midwest to, say, Oregon, or Louisiana, or wherever, visiting all kinds of places along the way.

Their “Bobbing For Fries” promotion did not go off too well.

Go travel. Pick a destination and go. Walk, hike, tramp, take a train or a bus, a boat if you have to, but go. It widens your horizon.

I’d guess Wendy’s based on recent ads. Plus I’d expect that sooner from their corporate counterparts than I would through McDonald’s.

It’s okay to feel like that, but you should still try and find thins that bring you happiness and fulfillment.
