Have you ever heard the saying, “If you want something, put in more effort than you think you should”? I’ve taken this advice to heart and have consistently applied it, even in the face of criticism. However, recent events have caused me to reevaluate the wisdom of this approach.
It felt like a revelation, as if the universe was sending me a message, when I realized that I may have been squandering my efforts. I’ve invested significant time and energy, only to encounter excuses and disappointments along the way.
My hypothesis for this perplexing phenomenon is quite simple: “The sum of effort exerted plus time invested should yield an equivalent result.” This equation seems fair and reasonable, wouldn’t you agree? But when “effort + time” leads to consistently irregular or meager returns, it’s time to question the equation itself.
According to the initial equation, when effort is reduced, the expected result diminishes as well. This is logical and anticipated. However, when the opposite occurs, it’s crucial to reevaluate our position.
I don’t claim to be an expert in these matters, but it’s essential to know when to draw a clear line between what’s worthwhile and what’s simply “bullshit.”
For now, I propose an experiment: let’s explore an equation involving less effort and less time. Naturally, the result should be less, but who’s to say this isn’t the equation we should be using all along?
To be continued…
