I talked with one of the guys in my mastermind group on my drive about the culture of comfort and contentment with the people in my generation.
I find it somewhat surprising and odd that there are so many young people who seem content with mediocrity and don't desire to reach for greater heights. There's nothing wrong with this, but when you only work enough to live on, you don't get to have the opportunities to serve and give as much as if you were striving to build your talents and skills!
Building an empire isn't selfish; you are helping others, creating wealth for everyone, and everything grows.
Unfortunately, most of my generation is growing up without working or putting in effort for almost anything. It seems to be a lul, and insulation from the real world. We don't need to build something, so we don't. We are satisfied with just living for immediate pleasure, and it's easier than ever to get.
Key takeaways:
1) My generation is very content with mediocrity
2) When you only work enough to live on, you are living only for yourself
3) Building an empire is a very selfless thing to do
4) Immediate pleasure is easy and plentiful
