Seth Rogen says he and his wife are now more grateful than ever that they decided not to have children he’s not afraid to explain why.
He admits they used to question whether they’d made the right decision, but now their conversations have shifted to, “Honestly, thank God we don’t have children.”
His reasoning? They’re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship they’ve always wanted.
But Seth took it a step further, saying he sees people with children struggling to find the same time for work and personal enjoyment that he and his wife have.
“I seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.”
That statement will probably divide people. Some see raising children as life’s greatest joy, while others believe a fulfilling life doesn’t have to include parenthood.
Do you think Seth has a point, or is there a kind of happiness you can only understand after having children?
Jim Rohn: "We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace — not for the time."
Two people, same hours, vastly different income. The difference is always value.
Your ceiling isn't set by your employer. It's set by what you bring.
I’ve seen so many people walking the same path as me
Inspired - Motivated af
Self belief on point - believing they’ll make it out
Hard working - ready to grind in the trenches
“Wanting” that life - whatever that means
Everything the self improvement space demands you to have
Then life hits them once.
One tragedy
One loss
One betrayal
One external event that doesn’t go their way
And they crumble.
I watched them climb beside me, then change into a completely different person the second shit got real.
That’s when you understand that
This game is NOT for the weak.
It was never about the money
Never about the cars
Never about the bitches
Never about looking like “that guy”
Your purpose has to be bigger than the pain trying to bury you
You need to embrace fighting back
Because if one loss is enough to wipe you out…
You didn’t want it bad enough
You just liked the idea of winning
