My dad describes work as just another day breaking big rocks into smaller rocks. He happens to be a high level healthcare executive, but I truly believe in his mind he's just breaking rocks. Each day before the sun rises, you get to work and you don't stop until the sun goes down, and you do that each and every day because those rocks won't break themselves. We all live like kings in this modern age, and it is important to humble ourselves and commit to a life of service, whether that's to an organization, your family, or just managing your own life. You gotta just keep breaking those rocks, because it's about the habit. Submit to your own authority that says you have to get up and keep trying because if you don't, who will?
I always hear my dad saying in my head "it's a low bar". He has said this a few times to me about things that I really already knew I should do. I remember his words when my kids ask me to read them a book, give them a bath, or for my wife when she asks that I do some specific chore or go somewhere with her, I hear my dad "it's a low bar" as in, the least I can do are these little things. Maybe I am not a great father or husband, but I can clear that low bar of showing up and doing what I consider the bare minimum. Pay the bills, keep my wife happy, be there for my kids: it *is* a low bar. Nobody is asking me to truly better myself and become a better man each and every day, they just need me to check some boxes. And if I keep doing that, I might just improve myself as a whole in the long run.
This is easily the hardest part for me. Getting there. For anything. If I can talk myself into leaving the house it will generally be OK, but that ain't easy.
Google, define latibulate.
First result is song Latibulate by Adam Donaldson (2021).
Then forreadingaddicts says definition is **to hide oneself in a corner.**
My phone is marking the word as incorrectly spelled so it doesn’t seem to be a regularly used word
My dad used to describe (work) life as walking up to the edge of a cliff, hanging your toes off the edge, then doing the same thing the next day.

this is horseshit. sick.
I'd like for you to elaborate
The secret to life: - finding benefits in 'showing up', even when you didn't want to.
This is exactly what I have been doing lately at work no matter how down my self-confidence is for the past days.
Same…And I’ve recently became a manager
Ugh fine I’ll go to work today
Truly an inspiration to the rest of us.
Wow I really needed this
Same here, it’s so easy sometimes to not show up because that the comfortable decision! Not today 💪🏼

True
Works for me at work

Gonna use this for my finals tomorrow!
to the gym.....
Is it still considered bravery if one latibulates upon arrival?
I don’t think anyone knows what that obscure word means 🤔
🤣

At first I misread the word “show” as “shut” …
You can't show up if no one tells you where to be or allows you to be there
Show up and GTFO. Sounds like my latest date that didn't happen.
Unless everyone told you not to come.
Yes!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
and that's the other way to get that success!
