Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    save money. make good choices that provide you with long term benefit, exercise your body and mind. ignore short term impulses and invest in yourself, not other people. build your future day by day, don’t hope that it magically comes one day.

    and ignore other people. way too many people are obsessed with what other people think of them and trying to impress them, and that’s why they make themselves miserable doing shit that is harmful to their well being.

    every miserable/anxious person i meet is always obsessing about what other people think about them and trying to impress strangers and feels like they are ‘struggling’ because they aren’t as rich as somebody else. constantly agonizing over this or that meaningless brass ring they are chasing that will just leave them seeking another one.
