This answer is great. It's time to take everything more seriously. Most of us, as adults, really need to commit to a 9-5 type job and do not have the option to live with our parents. Maybe there were missed opportunities from your parents while raising you but that is moot at this point and you can only deal with today and tomorrow now and not look back at what went wrong.

I like the commenter's idea of gamifying your life. It's a pretty cool strategy. I commend you for noticing where you've come up short for yourself and wish you well on your journey.

Dude you had a good family that have supported and provided you so many opportunities. Your failures are your own. Don't externalize that shit. The only way to get better in life is looking at what you could do better. The continuous theme is you lack self discipline. You are an adult. Not going to work isn't your family's fault!!! You need to decide what you want in life then get in the game. All four quarters of it.

30 isn't as old as you think it is. Start now and in 10 years time you'll be better off. When you're 65 (let's pretend that's when you'll retire) you'll have 25 years in a career. 25 years is a long time! Think all the time you've fucked around...

You're very lucky to have had family to laze around on! Count your blessings instead of your shortcomings..

You can do it, but no one but you can do it for you.

Thanks!

Author name? There seems to be quite a few books with the name.

Reminds me of a conference poster I saw once: "Don't dis- my ABILITY" (the formatting visually connected dis and ability)

Eh? why did mods remove this post?

Mate, every day is day one. You don't have to fix your past,just start your future.

Our comfort zone is generally when we are surrounded by what we know. The best way to learn is to go into the unknown!! Venture out our your home and go learn who you can be! Our brains structurally change and create new connections when we do this. It’s why people go on pilgrimages!

Is this like method acting vs Stanislav?

Yeah inspoporn isn’t motivating. It’s borderline fetishizing and makes me feel icky.

As I was watching my 9 month old grandson yesterday I was thinking something similar. He is learning and doing new things all day long.... His brain, his muscles. His curiosity is innate, why does this decrease as we age (for most people). Imagine what we could do if we didn't get stagnate.

Inspoporn is gross and not motivating. If the only reason someone/something is motivating for you, is their disability, that’s inspoporn.

I’m disabled and would feel extremely angry if I found out someone were using a picture of me in a brace or using mobility equipment like this. It’s just gross and often used to invalidate people who are already struggling.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life; put all that dumb shit behind you. It's never too late to make a left turn and just go for it.

Haha thought exactly the same thing

Her name was a joke...

Ilean..

I lean... She doesn't have a leg so she leans..

You know OP was making a joke too..

Bob Dylan said this in his Rolling Thunder Revue documentary but he just as easily could’ve taken it from somewhere else.

Disabled people existing isn't inspiring, they just exist

This quote honestly sounds like something my conservative uncle would say
