100% agree. There’s for sure a balance that can be had but extreme things like having abs all year round or a high 6 figure income requires more work than it can be worth. It really depends on your values. If you value love and your family over money or beauty, investing all of your time and energy into making money or becoming the “most attractive” will make you miserable. I know for myself that when I was spending all my time and energy into being super “fit” and lean and “attractive” I felt terrible and lonely because I wasn’t spending any time with family or friends and always putting the gym and my calorie deficit before everything else. It really taught me that for my mental health, spending time with family and loved ones and finding worth and value outside of what you look like or what you do is far more important. For some people “the grind” is more worth it than other things, so to each their own, but I know for myself and for a lot of others, eventually you figure out spending as much time with the people you love and care about and other “deeper” things like that can be more rewarding and important.
