Concerns about the Wailing Wall
|
The gate at my kids' daycare is a Wailing Wall. I don't know if it's some kind of group therapy or what, but people there just can't stop complaining:
​ Whatever. ​ But, I’m sure you know that complaining isn’t something exclusive to parents. Complains have been institutionalized. In today's society, defeatism is the norm…. and you’ll see once that Trump wins or Kamala wins the election… just wait and see. ​ But think of this for a moment. ​ Most people hear the alarm, get out of bed, and drag themselves to the bathroom. Cold water, bad coffee, and off to work. A quick break for lunch and back to work again. Then they come home tired. Shower, TV, bed, and back on the hamster wheel… start all over again. ​ And so it goes almost every damn day of their lives. ​ Even though a day has 24 hours, they barely find time to spend some quality moments with their kids, exercise, read, or simply do nothing. ​ Because make no mistake, touching your balls for leisure doing nothing else is true health. ​ But no… ​ Always in a rush. Always doing things they’d rather not be doing. Always hoping to win the lottery. Always hoping to have more money. Always the same story. ​ Every day, always the same. ​ And you know what’s worst? Something very curious happens with these people. Despite their obvious discontent, despite living in a constant state of complaint, only a minority actually do something to change it. The rest, without moving more muscles than their tongue, revel in their dissatisfaction, their complaints, their misery. "Everything sucks." From the couch of lamentations. With the news on, or Netflix on, or ice cream on. ​ If you need some vitamins for your brain that can keep you out of the hamster wheel, I can propose you this. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Some men see things as they are and say, “Why?” I dream things that never were and say, “Why not? -------- Robert Kennedy’s Some people are so obsessed and absorbed in their tiny realities that pulling them out is impossible.At a conference, someone asked the speaker whether a €50,000 salary was good in Spain.The speaker asked if they meant per month or per week. Your reality defines what you consider possible and impossible.Your words, your gestures, shape your mind. The moment you go from...
The US government tracked people from ages 20 to 65. They found that when these people arrived to 65, for every 100 people: 36 were dead 54 were living on government or family support 5 were still working because they had to 4 were well off 1 was wealthy That’s the US. I don’t think that the rest of the world is so different. I don’t know what your plan is when arriving to that age. Considering that you don’t want to be in the first group… what’s your plan? Where do you want to be? Mine,...
It’s the weekend and you’re off to brunch. One of those trendy cafés. You’re calmly sipping your latte. And then you see them coming. A mob. One of those “meet-ups.” Apparently they organize through an app… or so my wife tells me. They meet up and go exercise together. No fewer than a hundred. All headed to our café. $300 sneakers, skin-tight - very tight - Lululemon leggings at $200 per leg, Hugo Boss caps at $50 per ear… You get the picture. On average, about $1,000 in “athleisure.” They...
