The gym is a scam if you don't lift the weights,
You'll never get bigger.
You paid for your gym membership.
And you went to the gym every day, but...
You never got bigger, you never got in shape.
Did they scam you?
Or did you not lift the weights?
Learning how to make money online is a scam.
You could find a billionaire who's prepared to teach you how to make enough money to save your bloodline from eternal serfdom.
But if you don't do the work which is required of you, you're going to end up calling it a scam.
Love is a scam.
unless you put in enough work
into yourself.
so that she instinctively respects you.
So she admires you. So she is attracted to you.
so that you keep
The flame.
of your mutual bond burning bright. Unless you put work into the love,
You're going to break up.
And you're gonna say, love isn't real, love is a scam. Having kids is a scam.
Unless you're going to create perfect replicas of yourself.
to leave a mark on the future.
If we're gonna barely try,
and let them be raised by YouTube,
and LGBT garbage in schools,
that you're gonna think, why am I working so hard for this? I don't even get to have a miniature version of myself. Having children is a scam. Everything is a scam if you do not try.
Everything is a scam if you do not put in the work.
Going to the gym, paying the membership,
Wearing the gym clothes and the sport shoes and refusing to lift the weights will not change your life. Without work, nothing is real.
There is no magic.
to life without work.
I cannot think of anything on the planet which is good
without you working for it.
And the few things that are.
That's the true trick.
drugs, alcohol,
You take drugs you didn't have to try. You feel great, but you pay the price.
You pay the price with your mental health, you pay the price with your physical health.
You pay the price with your life.
It is impossible to find anything which doesn't require work, which is good for you,
which you are not going to end up calling a scam in the long run unless you try.
And this is truly the difference between people who love life and those who don't.
Everybody I know who loves life
tries hard every single day.
They work hard every single day. They suffer.
They struggle.
and they love their life.
The people who sit around, they don't try very hard, they seem to be depressed.
You would argue that that's quite counterintuitive. You would say the people who try hard and struggle and suffer, they're the ones who should hate their life, no?
But it turns out those are the ones who love life.
Because of the work you put in.
prevents anything from being a scam. It actually makes life beautiful. All of the work you put into anything makes it beautiful.
You put work into a statue, it's a beautiful statue, and it's completed.
Tennis.
If you walk on the court,
You hit the ball a few times, you miss, you don't really try. It's a scam. It's not very fun. If you start trying your very best,
You become mid-tier tennis player in your country. Not even world level. You get 200,000 followers and some hot chicks. You get to travel around the world, go to tournaments.
Tennis is no longer a scam. What is the difference? The game is the same. The court you played on is the same. The ball, the racket, and the human being are the same. The only difference is the amount of effort you put in.
Work stops things being a scam. Work makes things worth doing.
So when you tell me that you lack motivation,
What you're really saying
is that you lack a life.
Because...
If you cannot work hard towards things,
You don't have anything.
And you never will.
