Motivation/Harmful Mentality

MidExplosion · 2020-08-08T14:02:05+00:00

If it’s motivation to improve overall in life, then it isn’t the worst necessarily, but you just don’t want it to make you an impatient person.

If you rush to become mega attractive, you’ll probably turn to PEDs, plastic surgery, and a host of other methods that will harm your health and lifespan. If you’re desperate to get rich, you’ll be more likely to take higher paying jobs, despite them making you miserable and losing the freedom a lot of young people take for granted.

Use whatever you’re feeling as energy for now, but remember that results come after long, hard work, and you need to still drill into your head that you are doing this for you, not others.

You should aim for truly great things—growth, knowledge, stability, health, enacting change, etc.—and understand that wealth, sexual pleasure, power, and so on come as a bi-product. Amazing things happen when you focus on the first list; the objects of the second list will inevitably come into fruition. When the focus of your daily endeavors is money, sexual pleasure, power, or things of the sort, there will be no sense of fulfillment when you obtain those things. It will be empty. You must strive to grow and and gain knowledge before all else. This will provide a lasting feeling of happiness.

it's okay for pussy to be a motivation to lift and make money, but it should be the last reason

lift because you want to find your limits (and destroy them). lift because it gives you discipline and something to look forward to. lift because it's healthy. oh, and it helps you get pussy

become an investment banker because you find investment banking interesting, it will give you money to provide food and shelter and help your family. oh, and it helps you get pussy

Motivation can be extremely unreliable (vs discipline) so the fact you have a dependable source of motivation is a gift. Use it.

Once you start fucking again it will probably not feel as amazing as you thought it would, because you overinflated this goal in your head for so long (which is natural). Demons and insecurities can be really hard to run from but as long as you are making healthy choices

It’s not bad for it to be a reason you do things, just make sure it’s not the top reason or even worse: the only reason for your actions.
