I love this! Yes, it’s funny as fuck. But it’s also a wonderful lesson in life.
Everyone sets goals for themselves; some are big and/or expensive, while others are more simple and/or existential. Often times there are things that get in the way of us achieving these goals. I mean, that’s just life, right?
But instead of simply admitting defeat and wallowing in their own self pity, they adjust their goals to fit the situation at hand, and almost like magic those goals are attainable again.
~Full disclosure: I’m so tripping balls right now.~
It’s also really relevant in relationships, as sung by Bo Burnham
