Between hyperinflation and vax mandates it’s hard for me to be motivated in my general life.
I was a really goal oriented person when Trump was in office but right now with the Resident in it just feels in many ways pointless to make long term goals. I mean with both the DS and the Patriots needing the dollar to implode I just don’t feel motivated to strive for better currently cause it just seems pointless.
My life is pretty much oriented to avoiding the jab and trying to accumulate as much prepping materials, silver, bitcoin, Ethereum, GME and DWAC as I can. My semi normie Dad last night asked me where my drive in life has gone but it’s hard to explain cause he doesn’t really get what is going on.
Until the storm passes idk how I am supposed to make any long term goals.
Anyone else feel the same?
Here's a challenge:
Tell us something 'productive' that on the top three on your list (maybe it's 'make a list') that you plan to advance or complete or fulfill immediately. This will make you accountable to yourself. Do it now.
Take meaningful action toward said work item/issue/goal. At the end of the day you will not be able to deny that you at least did/tried something. Do it today.
Come back and tell us tomorrow what happened.
You might amaze yourself.
I tell my newly adult (18-22) children this all the time. Talk about feeling like life is on hold with no graduations, zoom classes, senior or regular life experiences etc. These kids have basically lost two years of normal life experiences. I tell them to make a one day goal, one week, one month, one year, ten year, start from the furthest, and make sure every goal is moving you towards the long term
I am just letting my kids 18-21 pretend it is normal by making the same plans as if it was. They are in the spell and can’t see the lies. And I don’t want to discourage them more by telling them that college may not matter at all. It is a lot like trying to call the top of the market. You can’t and you don’t know how long this “limbo” is going to hold on. So I could be wrong and college could be worthwhile…
specialized knowledge
flexible thinking
stoic values
if one can learn how to learn these things in college or elsewhere, literally more power to them.
Exactly!
One hated college but did the grind, working on real estate license now. One was in pilot school but they are requiring the jab. So for now, limbo. Also wanted to join the military but again, limbo. My youngest is a senior and cross country road tripped while everyone else was zooming from home. All three are based so I’m lucky. College is different than it used to be. My eyes were wide open listening to their classes and seeing the assignments over lockdown. Changed my view. They have to keep living their lives but the kids are definitely feeling it!
It’s alarming what’s it’s done to the high school/ college age kids. I know of about eight kids in the past six month diagnosed with the same thing (ADD, depression, anxiety) doctors all wanting to prescribe meds that will be lifelong. Covid was really, really bad for intoverts. It’s another element that has weakened and is targeting the youth.
Masks are a safety blanket and also hide important socialization micro and macro expressions. Put headphones in, wear a mask, stare at your phone, and you'll never have to interact with anyone again.
