Mar 28Not sure why people who hate their jobs would ever think it would be better to run a business, that’s something you do when you’re really good at your job and enjoy it

beefy the bodyStarted doing this after my last breakup which was a month ago. S*** really hurt. I gave up on love and focused on myself. Quit d**** and alcohol. Started working out. Mind you I got shot last year and lost my house, car, and a great paying job where I was also going to school for construction management. Now I’m working at a fast food place building back up. But man do I feel more hope after going sober and exercising more regularly.
I’ve been in a deep hole of d****, love, and violence since I was 15. Finally caught up and was fighting a 10 year bid but luckily, thank god, got probation. I’m 32 now and I’m starting to see the beauty in life. There’s more out there and you’re capable of more than you think.
Real s***

dblvsnThe way I did this s*** so far is I took undergrad SUPER serious, got a stem degree with some internships and research experience, now I'm in grad school (phd) and tbh I can do my work for a day in 4-5 hours usually, I get paid stipend so I don't work hourly, got a side job with remote work, life is chill as f*** and I'm not rly stressed about cash (I'm broke but I make it work)
nice. i could never go to grad school lol
ngl i dont rlly have to lock in rn cus my hands r basically tied until im done w undergrad. but i cant wait 2 get my degree and actually get back to working in the real world
then i can lock in fr and im so ready lol

Duck FieriThe real strength comes when you can realize all of this on your own without someone having to tell you. If you need someone to tell you or guide you then you already lost
But usually everything we as people "realise" on our "own" is just information we have been told/exposed to before, but due to a variety of neurological factors, weren't capable of acting on so this is silly post
Our consciousness acts on subconscious reference points, "realisations" are just that lol

plantsReal. And this mindset reminds me of Chapter 51 of the enchiridion. Let's see if I still have it memorized...
How long will you wait before you demand the best of yourself, and trust reason to determine what is best? You have been introduced to the essential doctrines, and claim to understand them. So what kind of teacher are you waiting for that you delay putting these principles into practice until they come? You’re a grown man already, not a child any more. If you remain careless and lazy making excuse after excuse, fixing one day after another when you will finally take yourself in hand, your lack of progress will go unnoticed, and in the end you will have lived and died unenlightened.
So decide that you are an adult who is going to devote the rest of their life to making progress. Abide by what seems best as if it were an inviolable law. When faced with anything painful or pleasurable, anything bringing glory or disrepute, realize that the crisis is now, that the Olympics have started, and waiting is no longer an option; that the chance for progress, to keep or lose, turn on the events of a single day.
flexing that you memorized the chapter doesn't really align with stoicism js

“If you need someone to tell you or guide you then you already lost”
Everyone is lost, everyone is trying to make their own way each day through their personal lens of how they view reality. Even the people who have their “life together” still have difficult choices to navigate, relationships to handle, sacrifices to make etc. There is no exact blueprint to a self fulfilling life, but your loved ones, your environment and who you grew up with in general lays the foundation for how you decide to play the game of life

What does any of this have to do with what the guy said? He just said that intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic motivation

I relate. My parents were great but I have fam who didn't do well I did well cus I didn't listen to nobody but myself
Mar 29even though i hate internet advice the best thing i ever did was actually be “selfish”, it doesn’t have to be the choice for everyone but when you are too worried about people pleasing you will lose in the end. What made me lock in is realizing how much power my own worldview has and what I can attract with it.

That's true, but what he literally said is that needing guidance is problematic and that's a clown statement
