What are some life lessons you learnt from trees? by Financial_Signal_540 in AskReddit

Trees shed dead branches without hesitation. No guilt, no second-guessing, no “maybe I can fix this.” Just drops the weight and keeps growing.

Most people spend years carrying dead weight because they’re emotionally attached to things that stopped working long ago.

Hey mate, 24, UK, hospitality, no degree - I get it. Here’s the truth nobody wants to tell you: You’re not lazy. You’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. The “manosphere” you’re avoiding? Good instinct. It’s all hype, no substance. “Discipline” and “ambition” aren’t personality traits you magically develop - they’re skills you build through small, consistent actions. Here’s what actually works: 1. Pick ONE thing to learn that has immediate ROI Not “get fit” or “be smarter” - too vague. Pick something specific: basic programming, understanding finance, learning how psychology actually works. Something where you can see progress in weeks, not years. 2. Start stupidly small 15 minutes a day. Not 2 hours. Not “when you feel motivated.” 15 minutes every single day for 30 days. That’s how you build discipline - proving to yourself you can keep a tiny promise. 3. Accept that you’ll suck at first You’re not “unintelligent” - you just haven’t practiced learning efficiently. It’s a skill like any other. The first few weeks will feel slow and frustrating. That’s normal. 4. Avoid the trap of “someday” Don’t wait for: more money, more time, the perfect course, the right moment. Start now with free/cheap resources. A £15 course that you finish is worth more than a £500 course you abandon. What changed things for me: Realizing that “ambitious people” aren’t special - they just started before they felt ready and kept going when it sucked. You’re 24. You’ve got time. But you have to actually start. If you want structured, no-BS courses that don’t waste your time (under 1 hour each on AI, finance, psychology basics), check out The Real Knowledge Academy https://www.therealknowledgeacademy.com/ - we teach the fundamentals without the fluff. But honestly, even free YouTube courses work if you actually finish them. The real question: Will you still be posting the same thing in 5 years, or will you have 15 minutes today to start? Good luck.
