An interesting analogy if you think about weightlifting versus capital finances etc.; the idea of delaying or Epstein from certain practices with the future in general?

For example, let us say that you love to eat cake, and it is your passion to eat cake. Your whole life is about cake. Yet you do not like being fat, you don’t like having a cake belly, yet you do not want to stop eating cake.

“We must labor to be beautiful.”

Let us say you want a six pack, 5% body fat, and you want glorious muscles. In order to achieve 5% body fat and a six pack, it is a paradigm shift.  One does not simply forgo consuming cakes for a short period of time, get the six pack, and then get back on the cake eating approach and lose your six pack. No. You want to maintain your six pack forever and forever grow your 6 pack.

I think a foolish approach that a lot of people then take is that you delay present consumption to save up money to buy the Lamborghini, but once you’ve bought the Lamborghini, you’ve lost all of your capital. It’s almost like proper exercise, abstaining from sugars and starches for a long period of time, only to regain your beer belly?

What’s the point or end game?

The question is, like asking a power lifter, what is the point of you trying to increase your one rep Max indefinitely? The answer is simple; because we like it! Because it is fun!
