Reply to comment by caoram in [Image] Potential without work, action is useless by crm_expert

Not sure why you're being downvoted. A lot easier to nurse potential when you're not doing 12 hours in the warehouse to get by.

Just because someone can do it easier with money doesn't need you just wallow in self pity and do nothing. It's called get motivated, not find excuses to complain.

Motivation doesn't magic an extra hour in the day. It doesn't pay the bills. For people working 55 hour manual jobs to get by, no ammount of motivation allows them to pursue their potential in anything. Especially when most things cost money on top of that. Any sport, painting anything. Costs MONEY.

I'm sorry then but why the fuck are you even here if your only plan is to say "well I can't do ANYTHING ?" What are you trying to achieve by just playing the misery card ? What are you achieving by shitting on people trying to get motivated on get motivated exactly ? People realized that the 0th step is to stop blaming the world and try to do stuff within their own measures, not give up and be spiteful for 0 good measure, maybe rewatch the image and see how inaction from self pitying leads to no results

I'm not talking about me and I'm not shitting on anyone. There's just a lot of people detached from the scenario of the average person like you who make these tone death posts.

Go and ask an average worker what hobbies and passions they pursued as kids and why they dont do them now.

Answer will be money, money, money and time.

Go work a 12 hour manual shift and see how inclined you are to pick up your talent of swimming afterwards.

Yep, absolutely agree. Doesn’t even have to be manual. Long hard days at a desk is enough to make you want to go straight to bed when you get home

Even then, you can be motivated to be more efficient with your time, learn other skills to get a better job, or adapt in some way to at least start somewhere.

Have you ever been in that situation? Do you think you could do an hours studying each day after that amount of work?

Not saying you couldn't but I feel that goes beyond motivation. That person is driven by something.
