I’ve given long rides to people where I felt generous and just let everyone off the hook,not paying the gas money, often at huge expense to myself. But I’ve noticed a pattern perhaps it was a reluctance to ask for the money as if that’d be rude. And that’s really stupid. Because in all fairness it’s my money! So now, I just ask for it. And I’ve found that there really isn’t any difference in people’s reactions.
Often we do things that are easy, enjoyable, and expedient, instead of the challenging, difficult, and time consuming. It makes sense. But sometimes it causes us to procrastinate on the important things, and focus on the trivial. That’s why I’ve found exercise to really helps to build a strong mind & body. It helps to overcome the inertia, and helps me to be more action oriented. In contrast, I’ve found that when I slowed down, it’s often hard to regain momentum. So be more disciplined and do the things that are important and will have the greatest potential impacts to improve our lives.
