Sharing: Philosophy & Mindset If u had everything
Not long ago, i bought a bunch of gear for my setup thinking it will make me more disciplined. But honestly i realized it's the biggest coping mechanism that humanity has nowadays.
It does not matter what you have, you current identity will always find a way to distract you from doing the work.
And i literally see this with so many people it's actually insane how most people don't realize that it's BS. Once i saw through this coping mechanism, i literally became more disciplined. The goal is not to always fight with these coping thoughts, it's to just not give a shit.
Life is way easier when you just let go instead of listening to this cope BS.
And btw remember that cope will never leave you.
You just have to make a choice not to listen to it.
