Why must we worship a mythical success? Why do fictional people inspire us to not act as ourselves?

We spend far too much time depressed and anxious and we don’t know why. We  compare our lives against other people’s highlight reels. We believing these people are gifts from a god that doesn’t believe in us. What can we do about it?

There are limited possibilities, but they are vast. We must focus on today. We must focus on the now. These fictional gods keep us limited. The real people behind them struggle as much as we do, yet we are the ones offending them with our existence.

We must look at these depression and anxiety tropes.. We must understand they have a kernel of truth, but nothing more. Most of it is in our minds, an easy way to excuse our stories and give us a reason why we will never be successful. 

You’ve already reached the end of your rope worrying about a future that will never arrive. So what do you have to lose?
