When a person or place screws you over, not getting what you pay for like bad food at a supermarket. Then they offer you a refund....
Here's the thing...
You stole my money, you stole my time, you stole my energy. When you offer me a refund you've still stolen my time and energy.
Goals are good for planning your progress, while systems are good for actually making progress.

I've been finding the strangest inspiration recently... I lack motivation for so many things, waiting for a feeling to 'feel' like doing a task... lately I've been imagining the person's face I'm doing this task for and it's really helping! ! ! There's not even happy or anger on the faces, just the face, it makes me feel, something like empathy, kindness and compassion, it's really helping me get things done.
Maybe I've been looking at education all wrong... I think it's a waste of time in a traditional sense, high fees, slow, old, rope learning, regurgitation... but maybe it's strength is it's structure, routine and accountability, thus freeing up our mind to take in more? If our will power is a finite resource drained by thought and choice, maybe it's good most choices are taken away so early on to free up space for an experienced teacher to fill it. Maybe!
We all seem to talk about the inflation of money, it costs more for the same thing as time goes on, but no one talks about the inflation of time, the cost of my time verses what I get. Why is this not factored into modern calculations and transactions?
