An Uphill Battle Against our Culture

Updated: Aug 4, 2021

Anyone interested in becoming the-best-version-of-himself

or -herself has an uphill battle in today’s culture. It is true

that this desire to become all we are capable of being would

be difficult even in a culture that attempted to help people in

this quest. The internal obstacles—laziness, procrastination,

addiction—make it difficult enough as we strive to fulfill our

destiny. A culture that opposes our quest adds a whole different

set of challenges.
 

The greatest problem is not that the culture is what it is,

but rather that we do not see it for what it is. That the culture

opposes our efforts to become our best selves is a problem,

but the greater problem is that we do not recognize or actively

acknowledge that the culture opposes our essential

purpose.
