@Avis my bro and his wife paid for a rental in Bham. We arrived and there were "no cars". Then, someone called and yelled at my bro for contacting customer service about the issue. What's up with this??
If you don't like what you see, then you need to prune who you're exposed to.
Primarily: who do you spend time with? Who do you listen to? Who do you read?
The goal is to spend time with models (peers who model desires to you) that share similar intrinsic desires to your own.
Ask yourself: is the path that this person is leading me down (via competition) a path that leads to goals that align with my real, intrinsic, thick desires.
Would I be truly happy if I became like them?
So, the question is:
WHO is making you want the things you want?
And more importantly:
Do you ACTUALLY want these things? Are they thin or thick desires?
Surround yourself with the wrong models you will be bound to artificial, unfulfilling goals.
Here's an example:
A thick desire is intrinsic (coming from within):
You love quietly gardening on weekends and do it because you enjoy it. You’d do it even if you could never tell anyone about it on social media. You do it for yourself.
For example:
A thin desire is extrinsic (coming from others):
You wanting to buy an expensive watch because your friend showed you theirs, even though you’ve never had any interest in watches or fashion.
@SouthwestAir I still need my child's car seat, stroller, and our luggage. Please help. I've called, left msgs, DM'd. And at 2 a.m, there was nowhere to get a car seat for my 1 year old.
