At the end of the day becoming successful and having a good life is simply about staying away from the useless stuffs. The reason why there are lot of broke people is because they can't stay away from activities that are useless, they want to have fun all the time, they want the easy way but most of the time the easy ways are the ones that makes them broke and miserable. They easily get tempted or seduced by entertaining activities that will never make them grow. They but things they don't need, they rub elbows with people that they like but doesn't like them, they're pleasers, they wanted to be cool, they want to stand out, they don't want to get left behind, they want to become popular in social media, they want to try different things that they don't even need.
If you want to have an easier life... define what makes your life harder and cross them out. Even if it is fun, easy, accessible and popular to everyone... cross it out, get rid of it and start focusing on what really matters the most. If it is not making you grow then why the hell will you still do it? if it's only making you broke and miserable then why still associate yourself with it? it's time to disconnect your life from what's making you worse, it's time to rise and improve, it's time to become a better and wiser person. It's easy to have an easier life, just work hard and never follow the crowd. Most people want to please other people, most people want an easy path, they're not disciplined and that's why they're having a hard time to control their emotions and that's why their lives keep falling apart.
Admit to yourself that what you're doing is full of nonsense and you will be able to change your life. Admit to yourself that you need to change your habits in order to make your life better. It is what it is, it's really uncomfortable but it's the only way. It's time to get better, remove all the waste from your life and give your best to improve. You have to make the right choices, remember that if your situation now is super comfortable then it means you're not growing. You have to make yourself uncomfortable through hardwork, focus and making sacrifices. Get rid of all of the entertainment in your life that are totally useless and has nothing to offer you in the future. Why will you do something if it will not give you any money or knowledge? why will you do something that is outside of your goals? you're only wasting your life by doing that. You have to make sure that you're on point and there is zero time being wasted.
The useful things are the things that makes you a better person physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually or financially. If you feel that something is just eating a lot of your time then you know what to do... throw it away outside the window because it's not making you better at all. Focus only on the things that will make you go further. Stop being manipulated easily by entertainment and comfort, you're better than that.
