How can we balance striving for future success while still being joyful in the present moment?
For men, it’s relatively for us to aim for that $1M/month, that 6-pack abs, that problem-free relationship with a hot model and achieve one things after another as if you are checking a to-do-list box.
While it’s a masculine thing to be driven, hitting goals and shooting for the Mars, if you aren’t CONTENT with what you have already done and CONTENT with the present moment and the journey, your life will be fucking miserable.
Just like many famous celebrities in history (Robin Williams/ Marilyn Monroe/ MJ/ Leslie Cheung/ Danny Chan), they seem to HAVE IT ALL – money, fame, women, achievements, they seem to be making EVERYONE in the world happy, but they fail to make themselves joyful and fulfilled and it’s SAD that they killed themselves.
So how can we be HAPPY with ourselves NOW, while we want more in life?
#1 Give yourself a break/rejuventation time regularly
Without optimal health & fitness, you can’t achieve your big goals.
But even if you never miss your ROUTINE, sometimes it’s OKAY to say FVCK IT and eat that delicious meal and indulge in some pleasures.
Don’t be guilty because you have EARNED that right to 放縱一下自己, getting 2% body fat back from 8% isn’t going to make you less hot.
#2 Don’t neglect your dating life or intimate relationship
The longest Harvest study in human history “The Grant Study” discovered that “Our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health.”
+ ““Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”
+ “When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment. But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.”
So are you taking PROACTIVE action to meet, attract and keep that person with you?
#3 Slow the fvck down and schedule your FUN ENJOYMENT time
We live in a fvcked up achievement-driven “successful” hardworking modern 1st-tier city, but researches & studies have again and again proved that many first world citizens are NOT happy with that lives, while many poorer ppl are happier.
I am not suggesting not to make that 500K/month, I am suggesting instead of striving to accumulate more traditional “success symbols” – house, cars, women, children -,
maybe you should reconsider what TRUE SUCCESS & HAPPINESS in your own fvcking terms.
Get the fuck out of this city and see the world as it is, and see how DIFFERENT it is than what you are SOLD in the fvcking media.
Change your environment regularly, and what you believe is a “good life” will be changed constantly.
