This is going to be a bit controversial here and I'd like to start of by saying I'm trying to start a discussion here, I'm not writing this to publish it as absolute truth.
I was watching Roosh's video, "Is self-improvement necessary" and he goes on about how all these self-improvement and motivational gurus, society or even the people here advocate this never endless cycle of getting more. He says self-improvement isn't really necessary, which I disagree with, but there are other thoughts he states that I do agree with, which is, if you're already satisfied and happy at your state, why force yourself to seek more?
A lot of people google how do I get the "motivation" to make more money, get more girls and etc. But I've been thinking, what if I'm already happy with the quality of girls I get? What if I'm already happy with the fact that I can pay my rent, sleep on a comfortable bed and I get to turn on the A/C if it gets too hot/cold.
They will tell you, "hey if you do more of x, you could get more of y" but I'm already happy with the amount of y I'm getting, If I need to get more of y then I will work and do more of x, but if I don't, why should I work more?
If you're one of those people who just have a strong desire for more materialistic things, more women, more status and that's really what you want, then go ahead (I do encourage you to do some soul searching, because this is unhealthy, that's up to you), but if you're not one of those people, like me, you don't need to force yourself to do so.
What I think people should focus on is to achieve enough money and self-improve enough to the point where you're comfortable enough, you have enough money to pay your rent and put food on your table, and you also have enough money to go do things you enjoy. If the thing you enjoy doing requires a lot more money, then work, but if not, then don't.
The point I'm trying to make is, this self-improvement journey, is never ending, you will never be satisfied if you're trying to fix every tiny bit of flaw you have. I think you need to reach a point where you're satisfied, and once you do, it's not necessary to make more.
Like an example is, game and such, once you get the premise of how to get laid or get into a relationship, why "self-improve" beyond that? If you do something that turns the girl off and it seemingly harmless to her or yourself, you don't need to fix that. Just find another girl who is fine with that.
As you grow older, the mistakes you do with money and women will be less since you will naturally learn without effort. You don't have to manually fix it. The same way a baby learns language naturally, the baby doesn't deliberately go out of his way to learn a language, it's just day by day, they grow.
I hope my post at least made you start thinking about this, again, I'm not trying to state this as absolute truth, but my goal here to day is to make people start critically thinking in regards to all this self-improvement topic.
