Reply to [Story] 3 years ago I was picked up from under a bridge I was living under for felony warrants (Drugs). Still drug free from that day today and healthy and happy. You can be down but not out, is the message today. by brisalkmk
I'm glad you got off drugs and grew your hair out

Anyone? What if they're German in 1942? What if they've already committed millions of war crimes?
Probably better to qualify this a little bit.

Unless you're religious and the person suffering is Jesus. You'd be kind of fucking up a whole chapter of the Bible book.

Not to be a bummer because I agree with the sentiment of this post, but try telling this to all the inventors and business owners who do something completely unique and have their ideas stolen (and popularized) by someone else. History isn’t thanking you for being the first to do something if it’s immediately stolen from you.

Well, unfortunately you're right; but for me this is just a reminder of how I've made efforts in metrics that are in my control (with mental health, physical health and overall progress) This was just a way to tell myself this, because when I do see how far i have yet to go, i tend to lose sight of how far I've come.
I know there are others who keep beating themselves up because they couldn't get to where they are as it's easy to forget that you take baby steps to get there when it takes time.
A few things that came to mind: "Doing stuff isn't how people change. It's what it looks like after you change" - Dr. K
"Even the deceleration of a bad thing, is progress" - CGP Grey, In his video about new years and themes.

Reply to [Image] You are more than enough. Don't let the bad days bring you down. Don't give up. by motivationswag
You are how you react to hard days. Forfeiting to difficult days isn't resiliency; it's weak.

Technically the Wright brothers built the worst FUNCTIONAL airplanes in the world. There were several attempts before them that were clearly airplanes but they just didn’t work.

Finally real advice. You can't make the world fair or equal. In fact you may make less or succeed less, and its not a result of the system, it's a fact of life. You will never be as good as other people. But you can try to be the best you can be. And that's what you should do

I don't find this to be true. Although lying to yourself could be useful in keeping your morale up.
I mean some people just keep getting worse at things.
Other people try to get better from cancer and just fucking die.
You should be grateful you're alive at all. Failure is just what happens along the road of success. And most things you'll never have time to succeed at. So you should just appreciate the time you have it all. Failure is a fucking gift

I would argue that this is a wonderfully positive use of a negative character. That in itself is motivating.

This person is the best, and knows it.
This person is their personal best, but doesn’t know it
This person believes they’re the best, but is an amateur.
We are the same, you and I.

Hitler circa 1930: "Some else could do it better than me."
Eva: "Not relevant babe, no one else is gonna do it."
If no one's done it before, consider that it might not be a good idea.

This is true. I killed this one person, and I thought that people would judge me. But the thing is, I need to keep doing it so I can get better at it.

The issue I run up against constantly (starting a business) is that I'm trying to do something many people have done and are doing, but I'm not doing it at their level and it seems impossible.

“Medicore” “best” “worst” are judgements from an individuals perspective. What’s the worst for one, can be the best for another. It just matter what you think.

Reply to [image] My friend saw this at her doctor’s office and took a pic. by hypertonica
Actually it's very possible to lose a leg. I knew this guy who had his leg blown off for no good reason. He killed himself later, so I can't really cite that instance. But you should just believe me that it happened.
