life motivation part1

Everybody wants
what feels
good. Everyone
wants to live a
carefree, happy
and easy life, to fall in love
and have amazing sex and
relationships, to look
perfect and make money
and be popular and well-
respected and admired and
a total baller to the point
that people part like the Red
Sea when you walk into the
room.
Everyone would like that — it’s
easy to like that.
If I ask you, “What do you want
out of life?” and you say
something like, “I want to be
happy and have a great family and
a job I like,” it’s so ubiquitous that
it doesn’t even mean anything.
A more interesting question, a
question that perhaps you’ve
never considered before, is what
pain do you want in your life?
What are you willing to struggle
for? Because that seems to be a
greater determinant of how our
lives turn out.
Everybody wants to have an
amazing job and financial
independence — but not everyone
wants to suffer through 60-hour
work weeks, long commutes,
obnoxious paperwork, to navigate
arbitrary corporate hierarchies
and the blasé confines of an
infinite cubicle hell. People want
to be rich without the risk , without
the sacrifice, without the delayed
gratification necessary to
accumulate wealth .
