The most insidious form of self-destruction isn't failure. It’s the carefully crafted delusion of "being on the path." Most people aren't even failing; they're expertly performing the role of someone who might succeed someday.
They read self-help books instead of doing, attend seminars instead of building, and mistake motion for progress. They've mastered the aesthetics of ambition while avoiding its substance. The brutal truth? Your vision board, your motivational quotes, your carefully curated social media presence documenting your "journey" - these aren't steps toward greatness. They're sophisticated forms of
procrastination, allowing you to feel like a protagonist while remaining safely in the prologue. The real tragedy isn't that people fail to achieve their dreams; it's that they've become professional dreamers, mistaking the elaborate performance of potential for actual growth. You're not "manifesting" or "aligning" - you're hiding behind a vocabulary of transformation while remaining exactly where you've always been.

@Awsumbill68@Rainmaker1973 Reverse engineer the perspective: would you allow an ordinary citizen to drive a tractor trailer with no training whatsoever? Imagine the liability, negligence, etc. A CDL should be required to drive a CMV across the board, no exemptions.
@Frostyculo@Rainmaker1973 Having the skillset of a proven operator under non-emergency, everyday TT driving is challenging in and of itself. To fly down tbe street in a CMV with just a pax license in an emergency situation puts lives at risk, IMO (even when other traffic must yield).
