the reality of life
David Jaffee with Beststockstrategy.com and in this video we are going to discuss my thoughts and
these are very sobering thoughts on the reality of life the reality of life at least in my opinion is
that there's a lot of suffering by being able to aggregate and learn from so many of the things
that i go through that my friends go through many of my friends who are extremely successful
i can tell you that there is a lot of suffering in life when you see people on
instagram when you see people on youtube act like everything is perfect that's not the reality
remember that life is about working getting things done being productive and then living a meaningful
life and if you want to live a meaningful life then you're going to have to assume a lot of
responsibility and the more responsibility that you assume the more stress you're going to endure
many people are going through life and they're suffering and that's why they develop dependencies
whether it's opioid addictions addictions to overeating or alcohol or drugs many people
simply waste their time because they seek constant entertainment as a distraction
away from their current life what are some of the ways that you can mitigate the suffering
well in my opinion it would be to take care of yourself to go to the gym
to go to the sauna to exercise to have meaningful relationships to be productive but at the same
time not put too much stress on yourself to achieve things but you know if you want to think
that it's just me then that's completely fine but i'm telling you from experience from someone who
graduated from an ivy league university from someone who worked as an investment banker
and who is friends and who has come in contact some of the most successful people on wall street
and there's a lot of suffering and there's a lot of pain for people who are not successful overall
there's just a lot of suffering and a lot of pain now the amount of pain that you endure
frequently does not remain constant throughout your life there'll be periods of your life when
you struggle more relative to other periods in your life however if your goal is to constantly
be happy and to always be content then that is not a good strategy because i've seen it from
multiple viewpoints i've seen it by working as an investment banker where it's all about sacrifice
and i've seen it from the standpoint of working as a nightclub promoter where it's all about
indulging in the moment and living a hedonistic lifestyle and indulging in everything that life
has to offer and i can tell you that neither path is the correct path and neither path is the path
of least suffering because you can indulge and you can work as a nightclub promoter in your early 20s
you can be a nightclub owner in your 20s and 30s but most of those relationships that you
make are going to be extremely superficial people are going to want something from you but they're
not going to care about you as a person and on the opposite end of the extreme if you work as
an investment banker you're going to sacrifice everything and then you're going to look back
and wish that you didn't make that monumental sacrifice so the best way of minimizing and
mitigating that suffering is to be very balanced and it's to always choose your own personal health
over anything else whether it's money whether it's drugs whether it's sex whether it's anything else
always try to live a balanced life but do not try to completely avoid suffering because if you
try to avoid suffering then you're not going to be able to accomplish your true potential
the best thing to do is to accept that life is going to carry with it an unavoidable amount of
suffering the degree of your suffering is going to be contingent upon the decisions that you make
however if you try to live a hedonistic lifestyle that is going to constantly kick the suffering can
down the road then you are going to pay that price as you get older so there's no
way of avoiding suffering but the best way of tolerating it the best way of
mitigating the suffering is to make sure that you live a balanced life that you try to accomplish
your goals and that you live up to your potential while at the same time not overwhelming yourself
with too many responsibilities and also do not envy anybody else
