This is why you are never content…

I strongly agree. Taking ownership of your life means you can also take some downtime to do what you enjoy… as long as the work is prioritized. Without structure it’s hard to prioritize work, so making structure and adhering to it is important. It’s also very important to welcome more responsibility instead of putting it aside or avoiding it.

100% agree with you. I appreciate you sharing!

Thanks for taking the time to share with us! I recently came across what turns out be a surprisingly fitting analogy here. Someone, in a forum, asked wether or not companies like CocaCola, Redbull and so on are responsible for trash that the enduser leaves on the ground/in nature rather than throwing it away. Just as, Netflix and Video Game Studios are not responsible for people wasting time on their services. It`s their choice to throw the bottle in to nature instead of doing the tiny little amount of extra work to throw it in a trash can, it's their choice to use these services while they could be productive and lay off work rather than doing the work and enjoying the services afterwards. Hope you smashed the week! Work hard, recover hard! Stay frosty!

Appreciate you! I completely agree. I think a big reason why people resort to this or don't take ownership of their own future is simply due to a lack of clarity. Those that don't have clear goals or aspirations don't really have the motivation to do much outside of this stuff so it get's painted as the problem.

That’s why I failed my first run at a course (I won’t say what course, but I’m sure you can figure it out). I struggled with PT schedules and prioritization (and nutrition; I was under-eating). I actually enjoy working out, but I never made it a priority, and when I thought I was going to make it to the end of the course, I got humbled. Right now, I still have some things to take care of before coming back, but I’m going to try again and prioritize what I need to do. I’m looking forward to seeing myself back in that place that I enjoyed so much (even though I wasn’t prepared).

Pumped for you getting back after it, man! Sometimes we need the pain of a failure like that to start prioritizing the right things. When I first joined the Army at 18 I failed EOD school because I was used to just skating by with things. I often say that failure was one of the best things that happened to me because that pain and embarrassment lit a fire under me to start prioritizing the work
