Not even mine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"327\">It\u2019s better not to read anything ever again if you don\u2019t intend to do something with it. At the end of the day, it\u2019s just more informational clutter \u2014 a burden in your mind.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"418\">As a society, we\u2019ve forgotten how to work \u2014 at least that\u2019s what movies have taught us.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"420\" data-end=\"551\">We\u2019ve become passive observers. We want everything quickly, instantly, effortlessly, at the push of a button, like taking a pill.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"797\">Remember this well: everything you get instantly is only temporary, superficial, without foundation \u2014 it addresses the symptoms, not the cause.<br data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"699\" \/>That\u2019s what the entire marketing industry of big corporations is built on \u2014 quick profit. Sadly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"1087\">Change requires action. Hard, honest work. Sometimes struggle. Sweat. Blisters. Fatigue. Risk. Sacrifice. Stepping out of your comfort zone.<br data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"942\" \/>Going through inner resistance, pain, and fear. And no, it\u2019s not easy. Sometimes it\u2019s really hard. I can confirm that from personal experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1189\">Nothing worthwhile happens quickly. Not health, not relationships \u2014 and least of all inner growth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1460\">Few people truly dare to look within and start working on themselves.<br data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1263\" \/>Let it be your challenge to <em data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1303\">truly live<\/em> this \u2014 not just to talk, think, know, or believe it.<br data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1359\" \/>Only what you live and embody is real. Everything else is just a product of the mind\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1519\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Are you ready to start investing in change \u2014 in yourself?<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/c19e0ea8-35c8-4455-88d0-21739f027b45\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Just following and liking the posts of your favorite role models won\u2019t bring progress.
