Another example I think of is the idea we should hustle and grind your whole life

I know recently “hustling” has become a topic where people feel extremely for or against, but I think overall we shouldn’t let hustling make us lose sight of the big picture—what are we hustling for?

If we hustle and never enjoy the fruits of our labour or the process, then it was pointless

I’m guessing that’s commentary on me?

I’m a millennial and I inherited no generational wealth, or wealth of any kind. I grew up in a trailer and dropped out of high school, then skipped college. Then i fucked around for 5 years doing nothing. Then I found a job i liked, poured myself into it, and started my own company. It wasn’t given to me, I constantly struggle with motivation. You know what doesn’t, and never would have, motivated me? Quotes like this. The only thing I ever needed to be told was get off my ass and make something happen; but the average r/getmotivated user would describe that sentiment as…. well just look at the typical comments on any given post here.

Most people are just fucking lazy and make bad decisions. Then blame it on capitalism, boomers, etc etc.
