nothing happens without loving the grind
why not see how much you can push yourself mentally?
In the Buddhist context, loving or hating the grind or pushing yourself, (samudaya), is grasping, holding on, being hung up - the cause of suffering, (dukkha).
The four noble truths: dukkha, samudaya, nirodha, magga.
i call a lot of spirituality now adays "california spirituality"
people who are basicly lazy but want to cover it up by saying they are "spiritual"
the outward appearance of an enlightened person and a lazy bum is similar.
just dont own much and flit about refusing to take on respnsibility
both buddha and jesus and indeed mo , took on a lot of responsibility and did a lot of work
i think they find that sort of lazy bum spirituality a fake
i think the way forward is to hustle your ass off,
as a young guy you want to and should get pussy and cash , just so you can realise how hollow those goals are
this seems the only way to transcend the paradigm
then you should try working 100 hr weeks , so you can prove to your brain that you can do it
in fact, the path to enlightenment lies in continually pushing yourself
didnt jesus go on a 40 day fast?
didnt buddha sleep amongst corpses and try to stay awake for 12 days ?
go watch a winn hoff video
that guy is emlightened
