There's the cynic in me that agrees with these comments. But I see the point. I should be living like I'll die tomorrow. For the few who are cursed with the knowledge of the day they die, would they be saying the same thing everyone else is saying? I could right now leave my whole life behind and go to another state and try something radically different. Or go to another country. People have done that with far less without choice. We treasure stability. That's why we don't do what the post suggests. I don't leave my life because its safe.
The things that bind us that keep us from doing what we desire, those reasons usually vanish or we atleast find a way to make them work either when we are forced to, or if we are dying. Wether you have a positive outlook or a negative one facing death, everyone always thinks they wasted time doing a rather than b.

I like to bundle that kind of thing with doing something I enjoy. For example, I like listening to interesting podcasts or music. Another option is to make the activity itself something you enjoy, for example jogging somewhere new outside or playing some sports instead of only going to the gym.

There is zero chance I will click on your link to read something I already learned from the person you're citing, but please do continue with your grass roots / guerrilla marketing campaign.

Because there’s a bunch of walls surrounding me, and if I’m not only figuring out how to get unstuck but also on fire, it’s not gonna end well

Because some of that shit takes money and a lot more stuff that doesn't come very easily or all at once.

But I'm arguing that many or most things that you would label as overthinking are actually the secrets of life being figured out. People domt realize how uncomfortable many people are with the deep truths.
You dont seem like someone who wants to have deep yet precise conversations.

Once you realise your thoughts are not you, but something that happens to you, it's easier to distance yourself from them. They become like brain weather.

Because there’s no sense of urgency. it’s a long life and people assume it will continue.

Because when that later causes Burnout, then you'll post another quote asking us to chill out in life. So a balance has to be maintained, which most people are trying to make anyways. Balance requires a little more careful and slow approach towards goals. Hence, the slow speed (and not running).

Reply to Going to the gym was fun for a month. [Discussion] by SunKissed_ox
Don’t try to bring those back. Don’t go because it feels good. Go because it is good. Don’t go only when your discipline makes it feel easy. Go because it isn’t easy. The number one thing is to remember that being stronger makes you better. It makes you more useful, it means that you can lift a boulder off the most important person in your life. It means you have the endurance to sprint to that friend‘s house and bring back their Epipen. Being stronger is the only way.
Yeah this all sounds dumb maybe but that’s it. You only live once. Being stronger means you have a better chance at living as a hero and what’s life if you’re not trying to be one? Going to the gym feels great some days, and awful others. That’s what going to the gym is. It’s work. But it’s work that’s worth it.
