do hard things
easy things are:
- watch TV shows
- watch movies on netflix
- play computer games
- watch tic tok, instagram, facebook, youtube etc.
these are easy to do, they are designed to be satisfying.
hard things to do:
- go to the gym
- learn to code
- learn to play an instrument
- learn to write
- to read
- study mathematics, hard sciences etc.
The former, entertains us, informs us a little, shapes our behaviour and thinking and even influences culture. But they are recreational activities. They shouldnt be the core purpose of human exisitence.
Human existence becomes interesting and expansive if we do hard things. By doing hard things our capabilities increase and opportunities arise.
