I admit it. I think I have an addiction to pickleball. I didn't play today because my legs were sore so I didn't want to push it and reduce my risk of injury. Even though I didn't play, in my head I could hear myself telling me to go find a session and play. It's kind of that feeling when I played video games and finished a game and said just one more game; I don't get that same feeling anymore when I play video games. I used to like playing video games on my free time but I just don't enjoy it as much as pickleball. It's now only when I play pickleball I feel that urge to want to keep playing.
Anyways, that's not what I wanted to talk about today. Today, I want to talk about getting ahead in life at the expense of another person or multiple people. Have I done it? Not to my knowledge. Would I do it? I wouldn't do it and there's a few reasons why.
Firstly, I'm someone with thin skin. I would feel guilty if I knew that I got ahead in my life due to someone else's detriment. It's not worth living with that guilt. It's even worse because I'm an overthinker and I would have a hard time focusing and enjoying my own life if I had to keep thinking of something I felt guilty for. Secondly, I am a person that believes in putting the time and effort. If I wanted to get to somewhere in life, get good at pickleball or whatever goal I wanted to achieve, it would be best through my own hard work. Lastly, I am someone that wants to impact the world in a positive way; that's why I sometimes volunteer and hopefully in the future, I'll have money that I can just donate. It would go against my goal and morals to have to get ahead in life through the detriment of others.
Even if it was at the detriment of bad people (think serial killers, psychopaths, etc), I still wouldn't want it. I believe most people would have the same feeling as I do but hey if you are ok at getting ahead at the detriment of others, do let me know in the comments. I'm curious to hear your reason for doing so.

Hello!! I agree with you, I would never have the courage to advance at someone's expense. It would be like feeling unscrupulous, and I don't think I could even sleep peacefully... it's something I can't shake at the thought of... I also hate feeling used, and the person who tried it, believe me, won't last long. We can compare it to theft and fraud. There's no greater satisfaction than doing things on your own merit, right?
I know right! We can't be doing these kinds of things as it kind of makes a cycle. It might make others do the same. Anyways, we should just focus on ourself and do what we can. pushing with our own ability. I sent you some ecency points haha
That's right, let's focus on ourselves. Life will put everything in its place.
Thanks for those points!
Have a great work week.
🌻🌻🌻🌻
Yes I will! and I will be playing pickleball too :P. Thank you. I hope you have a great week too!
Yeah I am with you on this one, I'm hard enough on myself, I don't need anymore excuses to be so. Plus I don't see success as something that happens at the expense of others. xx
exactly! sadly, some people do that because of power and greed etc.
Way better and more fulfilling to be successful going through the journey on our own terms through the experience, time and effort etc
Interesting share man. Keep staying positive!
yo what have you been up to o.o
