My job requires a lot more driving during the day and I listen to the radio more often as a result. Listening to the advertisements makes me cringe a little. They all seem to constantly remind you that mediocrity is acceptable and instant gratification is just one low interest payment away.
"Why bother making new years resolutions about diet, exercise or maximizing your potential when you can just have fun?"
"Healthy life choices are not always the answer, try laser therapy to remove that excess weight."
These are just a couple of examples of what I'm talking about. It seems that many just want a quick fix to their problems, but are unwilling to put any effort into making a change.
Why should maximizing potential be seen as something incredibly difficult or not enjoyable? The harder you try, the more gratified you will be. Maximize your potential in something that interests you and you can actually have fun doing it.
Why do you want to lose weight? Is it because of vanity, or do you truly desire to make yourself healthier? If it is just for vanity you are likely not addressing the cause, just a symptom. When your health is the motivation, not how you look, you are more likely to make the healthier choice and stick to it with greater chance of effortless effort.
Don't take the easy way out. Push yourself, you never know what you can do until you do so.
This is just my perspective of these particular situations. It is just frustrating that the motivation to better ourselves is dwindling among the majority.
Take care everyone.
