If you grew up taking care of folding your own clothes, preparing your own meals, going to the store, doing the grocery, cleaning the bedroom, cleaning the house, taking out the trash, and you did that your whole life, then, if you have to do that again later on in your life, you don’t feel like you have economic pain because you are already accustomed to living that way.
But if you grew up in an environment where everything was done for you, you never have to work, and now suddenly you have to work incredibly hard to just pay enough money to pay your bills and all of a sudden food is building up and house is dirty and your clothes aren’t folded and nothing matches with the life you’re accustomed to living, you might find yourself really angry and frustrated because you have a different story about how life is supposed to be than how it is.
So, in life, the most important thing to do while being young is to learn how to do the household chores and errands on your own. It is because in life, the only thing permanent is change.
Life is really a series of growth spurts. I mean, it is foolhardy of you to expect to live like a king all the time if ever you have that kind of life right now. Try to live poorly because if you continue to live the same way in the future, you’re already used to it.
And I ask people who here has been through the dark night of the soul, who’s been here in a situation where you feel like life isn’t worth living, or you feel like a pain that just never goes away? This is the nature of things in life. Things don't work out the way you want them to. It's not a perfect world, and there is no script to life that tells you what to do, and when to do it. Therefore, you have to be prepared how to live poorly and be content with it.
