@electrineer Fuck everything ;)

@electrineer come on you need to do atleast that otherwise how do you get the money for red bull and bbq

@norman70688 Simplicity and appreciation of small things matter the most. You can go that path, you'll maybe accomplish it, or not. Regardless, the force that drives you forward must be the inner joy and not money, nor luxury life style. Such things never end, but only feeds the ego, and ego my friend, is a black hole.

What if, okay hear me out, what if the people who encourage and embody the 'hustle' movement aren't forcing you to be one of them? They are sharing their stories. They simply want to put their word out. They are not asking you to do the same, as far as I know. If you subscribe to the idea of BBQ and Red Bull, more power to you. Spread your word out. Maybe, because of you and your word, the delusional people might get some hope. They might discover that there is more to life. Having said that, I am not saying having a Lambo or a million dollar condo is not life. That's it. Subscribe to your idea of a successful life, let the others subscribe to theirs...

@TheSlug Good point. Unfortunately the majority of motivational/inspirational people out there, and even people that don't even follow what they say are providing mass information on how to be successful. I'm not saying do BBQ and redbull is the way to go, that is just an example that means do whatever you want and makes you happy. But the issue nowadays is that people that fail to wake up 4:30, or own a Lambo begin to doubt themselves. And that is what I want to highlight. If you never enjoy what you already have, you'll always strive for endless things.
This has turned into a money machine for the ones that force the 'hustle' movement. Everyone is trying to sell products of people's unhappy life. -
@colaguy Agreed. 100%. People are getting stupider with the advent of smartphones and same-day shipping. They think life's similar to Amazon.com, delivering 'success' the same day. People have forgotten the importance of hard work and patience. They see their social feed and wonder, "Oh man, Brad just got a job of $90k, why didn't I get that?"
The point that I am trying to make is, people compare. A lot. And they never turn on their selfie camera and get a good look at themselves. They need to realise that they are the reason they didn't get a job that paid $90k. -
I've never been closer to paradise then sitting around a campfire with my family, freezing our asses off while roasting friggin hotdogs until they're black on the outside.
Or out in a tent, and it starts raining at night. And oh jesus the fucking rain starts to come in. And you're like "how do I adjust my sleeping bag so that it absorbs water in the least uncomfortable spot".
Waking up in the morning, slightly sweaty, slightly damp, like someone peed a little in their sleep, but thats okay because your body has warmed it to body temperture, instead of a cold puddle, and not wanting to get up out of the warmth of your sleeping bag because you finally got past being miserable enough to actually sleep, but DEAR GOD you have to piss, and you're stomach is growling from the delicious smell of some motherfucker barbecuing at 6 in the god damn morning. And you get up and everything hurts, not like sore hurts, but HURTS, but in a good way.
Camping is like heaven for savages. -
@Wisecrack urine tends to be body temperature when it first comes out. No need to warm it.

@Wisecrack then you say "body has kept it warm" instead of what you said

Eternal confusion.
Our life story explained 😂 !
F*** all this motivational/inspirational shit going on nowadays. We don't need cold showers, wake up 4:30 AM, or sacrifice time with loved ones just because our ego wants to be successful.
What if I don't want it, what if I just want to BBQ some chickens, drink Red Bull, and watch some Netflix shows until I die.
I don't want to own a Lamborghini, big apartment, live in a warm place with a nice view over the blue ocean, etc. This is just an illusional life-style story that every single person in the world wants, and the reason is so media and commercial companies can trick people to buy whatever they want.
I don't give a shit, we'll all die someday, I don't need these things in my life to make me feel happy or complete. I've seen people with everything, yet they commit suicide because the inner self is broken.
Just be happy with whatever you have, and stop going after things that won't really make you happy. The fact you have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to feel is worth billions in itself.
Wake up.
