for your comment. Wouldnt it be delightful if we were some of the people who found gambling boring? Jokes aside, I think you brought something up that is really crucial here. Purpose! I think many people today walk around unhappy and looking for instant gratification because they lack purpose in their life, or maybe they know what their purpose is or what their dreams are, but didn’t choose to follow them and live them out. As a result, it’s easy to be lead down a negative path with all the unwanted consequences that follow. I very much lack purpose. Hell, the other day after a GA meeting we were talking about how many of us didn’t even know what our interests were, what we enjoyed in life, and why we get up in the morning. And as you said, I think the lack of not knowing these things will make you prone to want some kind of meaning in life, even if it’s self-damaging meaning.
And yeah, I should learn to embrace that feeling of being in a slump – because its proof of me not gambling at least. I guess it’s just because it’s new territory for me, and so, I’m in discomfort with being in this state right now, which is okay!
I’m going to double down on reversing my brains automatic response patterns! Attitude! Positive mindset! Mindfulness!
