As interesting as that is, I feel like a totem worshiping untreated schizophrenic is not the ideal person to take life advice from.

Well motivating then? How is it motivating? It is supposed to be that since that's the name of the sub, but I equally don't see that.

We have a lot to go on. He was an extremely prolific writer. If you were to buy all of his books it'd add up to ~10,000 pages.

It’s just an example. You can substitute doctor for anything. At least you’re taking a stance. The other person is just wandering around with less of a stance in life.

Yes, but the people who wanted to be doctors had gotten to the point that they knew what they wanted to be, and that hurdle is both very tall to jump and off in an unmarked direction.

I have found that other people will notice WAYYY before you do. Especially if you see someone you haven't seen in a while.

Thanks for this fascinating information, thats new to me.
But i'd say its also worth noting that he teamed up with Freud and was one of the fathers of psychotherapy. Which is heavily inspired by buddhisg philosophy that both of them studied intensivly. For everyone has highly autonomous parts in their psyche, schizophrenia is just a desise where the managment of those gets out of balance. And buddhist practises (meditation) enables you to clearly look inward and connect/map out these parts of your mind.

If you keep drilling down on the why you have certain preferences, at the very beginning of the causal chain of events, it is unlikely that choosing to do that thing or preferring that thing was the beginning of it. Evolution, nature/nurture, biology, chemistry, biophysics etc are slowly chipping away at the facade of free will. You do still own your actions because you exist physically in this universe and in your body. But without a supernatural component to the brain (which is totally fine and good to believe in, and I think it's valid and human to have opinions that can't be proved) free will in the truest sense is very unlikely. But this line of reasoning is perhaps an academic and philosophical argument which probably ought not to be inserted into your daily decision tree.

In college, some people wanted to become doctors. They set out on a path and said that’s what they wanted. Others went to business school and just hoped to get hired somewhere. Whoever hired them told them what they were going to be. The latter sucks, just ask any corporate worker.

The point of the quote is, roughly, having the world force you to be someone who you aren’t really sucks, and the way to defend yourself from that is to know who you are. The motivation it seeks to conjure up in you is the desire to become clear in your own mind as to who you are.
