Picked up 6 of them and all of the other weights I needed . $ 300 total for 450 lbs total , that ' s a great deal <| sep |> That analogy ignores the financial and time investment players make in MMO games . The opportunity cost of eating one fruit over another doesn ' t come close to an accurate comparison to the author ' s main point . <| sep |> But I must mention , I struggle , like really struggle with perfectionism . That makes it really difficult to make a change . Probably just another avoidanceprocrastination mechanism . Perfectionism often disguises itself by putting us into a safe routine which we never break . Then we can psychologically maintain an illusion of being perfect because . we never try anything new . Nothing ever changes and we never take risks so we never have an opportunity to fail and fewer things in general could ever go wrong which might expose some area where we are not perfect . I think a lot of people feel that its hard to change because in doing so we want everything to be perfect . We envision HOW we want things to change and then we want to make that vision a reality immediately instead of realizing most good things require work and time to accomplish . Whether its a great body from working out , a stable economic situation from saving and financial discipline , a successful business , or even enlightenment . This attitude is from three things in my opinion one of these is how instantly we get gratification in our society with basically everything . We dont have to wait for almost anything anymore , we just get whatever we want whenever we want it . The second is growing up in a culture where everybody wins when we are given awards for doing literally nothing for literally failing it gives us the wrong idea about the value of hard work and accomplishments . It causes us to internalize this notion that we deserve accolades for doing nothing , and so people grow up entitled . The last thing that causes this is the notion that everyone is equal . We all deserve equal rights socially and legally , but in terms of actual equality we are not all equal . Some people are manifestly smarter , faster , stronger or more capable in some areas than other people . Some people will excel in math where another will struggle , but that other person may be an extremely talented writer or artist . Even in the spiritual world some people naturally pick up things like meditation easier than others and reach accomplishment in those practices easier than others . So in general we are all different and perfectionism is a lie nobody is perfect at everything and even if they could be nobody has the time to actually make that happen . Someone being better at something certainly doesnt make them a better person , and usually the notion that everyone is good at something is true . To be truly ' perfect ' we should seek to master three qualities . The first is approaching obstacles as opportunities to get stronger physically , emotionally or mentally . Obstacles are challenges where we encounter some kind of resistance that has to be overcome . The second is approaching failures as opportunities to learn either learning something new or unlearning something old that is causing us to fail unlearning a bad habit for example . The third is approaching ourselves with openness and honesty taking a sincere account of ourselves and the things we are actually good at . Looking at areas where we can improve , and also looking at the more difficult areas of where we may never improve . These are things like physical limitations that prevent us , medically , from accomplishing certain tasks . They may also be cognitive limitations where even if we can in theory do something like complicated math for example we are so bad at it that unless we have a strong passion to be a mathematician we are better off leaving it to those who are good at it and not try to make it into our lifes work . Still there are always stories of people who really sucked at something but were passionate about it and end up doing something huge with it so above all else discover and follow your passion since that is also where you will be most empowered .
