I appreciate you. I mean it. I am not one to put myself out there really, but for you to go out of your way to do that, very kind of you. I feel bad, as I haven’t had much to offer back, hopefully one day if I become successful I can but, but for now I am immensely grateful.
The crab in the bucket mentality is so true, it appals me personally as recently I have encountered hypocritical full grown adults be condescending, and gossip, and try to be holier than thou, whilst placing their values only on completely superficial things. The typical shallow consumerist 'spend money to impress those who don't care,' while simultaneously trying to belittle others. Sometimes the more I interact new people, my hope in humanity wanes, but this forum has been a refreshing wellspring.
I read somewhere that happiness is about 20% genetic, 30% circumstantial, and 50% based on ones own autonomy / ones ability to have control over their life, so it rings true. Although it makes sense also that people who are passionate about what they do generally have more breadth of experience, are more creative, more well rounded individuals. Also wisdom should translate to happiness I think, and experience leads to that.
Your post, and those of others here have made my day. I am honoured to hear I made any sort of positive impact to you. Good work on the pushups and squats, those are some very impressive numbers. Keep working hard and thanks for the positivity.
@Shono I saw this post in your fitness feats thread and I wanted to make a new thread about you.
Here was a guy that came to the forum likely with his defenses up, or at least that’s my assumption of the matter. He tested the waters as a bit of a troll, likely because he “doesn’t like to put himself out there.” After a few weeks here he has truly made big changes. Changes worthy of applause.
@Shono I want to congratulate and encourage you for coming out of the “Droopynips” shell and truly diving into this. I honestly believe it’s the biggest mindset turnaround I have ever seen on the forum. Not only should you be proud of the changes you have made, you have set a good example for other members of the forum that might have a bit of a facade up.
When you operate from a place of “real” you don’t have to worry about a house of cards. You can truly get something out of a community like this. You actually had something of value to share, even if you think you didn’t. Hopefully that’s becoming more evident to you.
I’m legitimately impressed. Well done. Be encouraged.
