I'm so sorry things are so hard for you at the moment: irrespective of how strong or well-balanced anyone is - with this to get through, anyone would need so much more support than a social media quick read.

I really do hope you find the support you need so you don't have to get through this all on your own.

Rooting for you,

Kevin.

I'm going through a divorce, I moved across the country, my mother is nearing the end of a terminal illness, and I'm starting a new job. All at age 51. It is very scary to think about creating a life I want when the very recent past was so much simpler than this. A year and a half ago, none of this was happening. I try to stay in the present moment but the present moment is so painful.

well you’re objectively wrong then. this is clearly about habitual complainers. that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t have a right to be dissatisfied with their circumstances, but the point is you’re only doing a disservice to yourself.

there’s also no need to be snarky

I’m struggling with determining the same exact thing!

Logically, it feels like efficiency and productivity are the only way to get the results I want, but if the end goal is to put myself in a position to enjoy it, why not enjoy it now?

Helpful to see that there are others toiling with this idea! Thanks for sharing 😄

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Watching motivational videos and seeing how to make the most of my time but not actually enjoying it. I’m wondering if that’s the life I want to live or if it’s better to just enjoy what I have day to day. Feels like efficiency and productivity is the only determining factor of success and I find that hard to believe.
