This resonates with me this week. But what if people don't listen? I had been telling a group of male weightlifters (aged 26-43) to change their behaviours for months. They didn't listen/change and I finally had enough and cancelled the sessions.
The anxiety and frustration had been building up inside of me like a boiling kettle. I feel much better since. It might have been an over-reaction.
James Clear said something similar in his newsletter yesterday:
"Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy.
Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder.
Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder.
Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder.

absolutely James, it remembers me the "easy choices, hard life .. hard choices, easy life"
thanks for this example!
