Here is a brutal exercise that can change the course of your life.
Open your phone's camera.
Turn on the selfie mode.
Hold it out in front of you.
Look at the screen for a minute.
Ask yourself:
"Am I truly happy being this reflection?"
Is it healthy?
Is it happy?
Does it strive for freedom?
What does this person look like?
Who does this person want to be?
Does he look tired and broken because he is locked in work for 16 hours a day, then aimlessly scrolls through feeds, feels sad, and goes to sleep?
Is this really what you wanted?
Most people won't do this because it's already damn hard for them to look at themselves.
But if you have a bit of courage, you will do it.
And you will see that you are not yet close to the state you want to be in.
But you will see a sparkle in your eyes.
A sparkle that burns with a bright flame to become the best version of yourself.
A better parent.
Taking care of your health.
A wealthy person, rich in spirit and society.
Someone who helps others before themselves.
Someone who lives freely, outside the system.
Self-deprecation is a hell of a drug.
It's time to upgrade.
