Not at all Brian, I appreciate the questions.

Most people avoid taking time to figure things out because they are comfortable. Reaching success, or any "better" life, would mean they risk that comfort for an unknown.

Sure, it may be better, but our minds do not want to take that risk.

So most would rather not work on themselves and rest, entertain themselves, or find ways to waste time/procrastinate as that is far more enjoyable than doing actual deep, inner work.

The only people that do take the time are those that must take the time (probably due to some horrible life event they cannot repeat) or those that have trained themselves to take that time (usually those that have invested in the habit/have reached some success and surrounded themselves with examples of others who have this habit).
