Real question. How many times have you said: “Just need to get through this week.” “ Thank God it’s Friday.” “Weekend can’t come fast enough.” I get it. We all do it. But if we’re basically writing off Monday–Friday… that’s most of our life. Are we really okay with that? I’m not saying weekends aren’t great. They are. But if the only time we feel alive, free, creative, or human is those 2 days… surely that’s a bit of a red flag right? So maybe the goal isn’t to “escape” the week… Maybe it’s to build weekdays we don’t hate. Curious what you all think: Are we meant to live for the weekends? Or is that mindset keeping us stuck?

Yeah, I said it. We talk a lot about escaping the 9–5, building wealth, going viral, “making it.” And don’t get me wrong — ambition is powerful. I’m ambitious as hell. But I’ve had a realisation recently that hit me hard: I’m already living a life that past-me prayed for… And somehow, it still wasn’t enough. I make good/decent money. I work from home. There was a time I used to dread the idea of going into work 5 days a week — especially at a warehouse. I remember thinking, “If I could just work from home and make solid money, I’d be set.” Now I have that. And yet… I still caught myself feeling restless. Dissatisfied. Wanting more. More money. More freedom. More views. More success. That’s the hedonic treadmill. As humans, we adapt to everything. The new car becomes normal. The pay rise becomes baseline. The WFH life becomes “meh.” Your nervous system recalibrates, and suddenly what used to be a dream is just… Tuesday. So here’s the uncomfortable question: If I’m almost as miserable now — with more blessings, more flexibility, more opportunity — as I was back then… Why am I so confident that being super rich, financially free, or wildly successful will suddenly fix everything? Why do celebrities with money, fame, access to anything… still struggle? Still spiral? Sometimes even end their lives? Because the external upgrade doesn’t automatically create an internal upgrade. And here’s something that humbled me even more… When I worked at that warehouse, I met some of the happiest people I’ve ever met in my life. Genuinely happy. Laughing all shift. Present. Content. Some of them are probably still there. And I’d bet some of them are happier than me. That messed with my narrative. We are wired to want more. To compare. To optimise. To chase. But at some point you have to wake up and realise: You have the power to choose happiness and freedom now. Not when you hit £X. Not when your content blows up. Not when you quit your job. Now. That doesn’t mean kill your ambition.

Hey guys, today was another day I just couldn’t be bothered to go gym (I mean it’s a Friday, can you blame me🤷🏾‍♂️😭) But once again I was able to overcome my internal resistance by using a lot of the mental frameworks I’ve picked up through my interests in stoicism and other similar philosophies. I know not everyone cares about gym and stuff like that hence why I’ve separated the chats into different areas so people can just engage with the specific topics/aspects of life they think philosophy can help them with. But just thought I’d start sharing more posts like this here as I believe this is one of the key areas philosophy has been able to help me make progress in. If this stuff is interesting to you, maybe we can start using this chat to hold eachother accountable and share other ideas and philosophies that could help all of us with physical health and wellness! Happy Friday everyone, and enjoy the weekend when it comes!

Do you believe there is objective morality — meaning some actions are truly right or wrong, regardless of culture, opinion, or time? Or is morality just a social contract we invented to keep society functioning? For example: - If every society agreed that stealing was acceptable… would it become morally okay? - If morality evolves over time (which it clearly does), does that mean it was never objective to begin with? - When we say something is “wrong,” are we discovering a truth — or expressing a preference? Some people argue: - Morality is objective because certain principles (like unnecessary suffering being wrong) feel universally true. - Others argue morality is subjective because it varies across cultures and history. And here’s the twist: If morality is subjective, on what grounds can we condemn anything? If morality is objective, where does it come from? God? Evolution? Reason? Human well-being? Something else? I’m curious where this community stands. Is morality discovered… or invented? Give your take — and more importantly, explain why.

Hey Elite! Quick one: If no one could see your results… - No likes - No applause - No recognition But you’d still get fitter, smarter, richer, sharper. Essentially just improve in whatever way you desire. Would you still go all in? If nobody knew how much progress you were making … would you still be trying to make progress? Be honest. do we actually seek self-development for the sake of itself Or do we seek attention?
