Life doesn't reward those who suffered
Think More Know Less - #58

Life doesn’t reward you because you suffered.
Life rewards you because you make the right sacrifices.
The victim mindset doesn’t get you anywhere.
Suffering is sometimes driven by things you can’t control, and things you can.
Making the right sacrifices is all driven by what you CAN control.
Sacrifices don’t have to be big.
Choosing to go to bed at 9pm on a Friday because you want to wake up early on Saturday and workout, is a sacrifice.
You are giving something up, for something you feel will have a better return.
Most sacrifices in the short term should be for long term gains.
Choosing to not eat poorly, so 30-50 years later you will live a better life, that’s a worthwhile sacrifice.
Would you touch this?

I’d be scared, no matter what science says.
