Why are people so complacent on the cards they have been dealt?

When you have goals to do great things in your life you don't settle for scraps off the table. Yet why is it that most people strive to settle for whatever they can get? I mean what's stopping people from greatness are they afraid of something?

You make the best of the hand you are dealt, but you have to play that hand. When he was little, my brother dreamed of being a jockey when he grew up. He’s 6’ 1” and weighs 280 lbs.

If I was over seven feet tall, my chances of making it into the NBA would be about one in six. I am one of about 25 million white men in this country under 5’ 7”. One of us played in the NBA. (Monte Towe of the Denver Nuggets, 1970’s) Considering my height, the fact I trip over my own feet, and my free throw percentage is single digit, I decided not to pursue professional basketball as a career.

Part of achieving success in life is realizing your strengths and weaknesses.

The insane amount of time and effort needed to actually achieve it. Some people prefer to enjoy life.

We are bred to be complacent.


A population that is not complacent is a threat to those who control it.


Humans with a calcified pineal gland are particularly complacent.

Why work harder than you need to be happy and satisfied?
