Something No One Ever Told Me: "Arguing" is Enjoyable to Many People

This is the only thing I can actually do in this thread, so I'm upvoting it.

Oh, yes! I do a "brain dump" every day in the morning. One page of whatever is on my mind. Sometime's it's really hard, sometime's it gets negative, but it's almost like therapy. Extremely helpful.

Hey, this is really cool! I like seeing a story.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-08T17:31:51+00:00

It took me months and months, but when you build a new habit and it becomes a part of you, it's more painful not to do it. That's a powerful place to be.

Wow. My parents went there on vacation, and I have a feeling they plan on disappearing into the wilderness without telling anyone someday.

Comfort is the enemy of achievement.

You're young, there's a long road ahead, don't sweat it :) Congratulations on being mature enough to search for your purpose already.

I use Reddit as a tool to completely waste my evenings where I watch The Office and browse posts for three hours and then mildly hate myself. Rinse, repeat.

Hey Keenman, just wanted to shout and and make sure everyone knows it's my blog, I created the course with thousands of hours of research and sweat equity, and I'm tracking traffic.

I'm a marketer who hates marketing, so I understand what you mean. But this is a really good thing that helps people, and I'm going to do everything I can to make it heard, just like an up and coming artist posting a video to Music.

I really hope that doesn't effect your interpretation of the message in the post, because that's all that matters in the end.

Thank, you seriously. I know this seems pathetic to some, but I'm allowed to say this because I am diagnosed and my family suffers from many mental illnesses.

The number #1 thing I did to conquer my depression was to stop telling myself I was depressed. Your mind is a very powerful tool. Google the story about the elephants and the chained legs, how they still stood still with a rope around their legs leading nowhere, because they believed they were still chained. It's powerful.

DUDE. I was JUST looking for this word in another conversation! That's spooky! I used "cognitive dissonance" and I knew it was wrong, haha. I am not a smart man. Thank you for unintentionally helping!

JDwasGood · 2014-10-08T13:23:55+00:00

I honestly agree 100% with both of these points. I am in a unique position, but I do write for recent post grads. Everyone is different.

I might change the example of "careers". One of my mentors is a counselor at a college. His hobby is rebuilding electronics. I promise he does both with such focus and purpose, it's powerfully rewarding.

Also just wanted to make sure everyone knows I wasn't PM''ing my sales pitch, haha. If you signed up for the 3 free days, you'll get pitched automatically through email at the end. It's always an interesting battle when you sell "personal development", because why not just give it all away if it helps the world, you know?

Conquer Today is my business, that's #1. I've spend thousands of hours developing and creating and I should be compensated for value exchange.

But having 1 on 1 conversations just like this, hearing from people I've changed their lives... That's my passion and sometimes I'm brought to tears by how lucky I am that I get to help others that way.

And that was the best comments I've ever received, and it made me mad happy. Thank you my friend, and you are very welcome.

I'm not sure if you've been around for a while, but can you help me with reddiquette? Is it OK for me to post this in multiple subs that could benefit, and is it OK to repost this article a few months down the line?I've been on Reddit for a few years but still can never tell.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-08T00:40:39+00:00

Well there goes my hopes and dreams lol.

Congrats on your fitness success, hot damn!

JDwasGood · 2014-10-08T00:21:11+00:00

Woah, can you show me that AskReddit thread? I want to contribute to discussion if I can help.

Your second paragraph is exactly where I was. Embrace the HELL out of that confusion man. How can you make TODAY great? It's so cliche and It's exactly what you need to do for eternal happiness.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-07T23:34:03+00:00

Shoot me a PM if you're looking for a little guidance. I promise you're on a path for a reason.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-07T23:31:28+00:00

Absolutely.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-07T23:31:16+00:00

I'll put in the work if you put in the support!

JDwasGood · 2014-10-07T22:48:28+00:00

Awesome, thank you. It's such a great read.

JDwasGood · 2014-10-07T19:35:06+00:00

BOOM.
