I love this quote from Mark Manson, author of “The subtle art of not giving a fuck”.
We all have dreams and ambitions. Most of us want more from life than the deck of card they have been given.
What do you like? What would make you happy?
Pleasure is the easy question.
The real question is : “What pain can you sustain?” in order to achieve your dreams?
I agree so much with this statement.
Life satisfaction, however you define it, comes with a price. Nothing in life is free.
You want to be fit and strong, you have to be willing to spend your life in the gym.
You want to build a successful business? You have to be willing to work like crazy and you will probably be asked to risk everything you have.
You want happy kids? You have to spend time with them, work less and play more. Easier said than done.
Unfortunately, we can’t have everything.
Just be realistic about your dreams and ambitions.
And ask this question often:
What pain can you sustain?
Thank you.
