YouTube monologue (Mark Evans DM, Feb 13, 2024) arguing that people fail to reach goals because their actions and resources are misaligned with required effort—illustrated by a spending metaphor (needing to spend 20 but spending 4 for 12 years) and a fitness metaphor (expecting six-pack abs while eating Doritos and drinking beer).
You said you need to spend 20 and you're only spending 4 and you've been spending 4 for the last 12 years. Why would it change? Why would the model change? How could you ever get to the goal? It's impossible. It's like you sitting on the couch trying to get six pack abs with the strongest legs and the strongest biceps and the strongest packs by eating Doritos and drinking beer all day. They're not in alignment with your goals. Your thoughts are there, but the goal is so far fetched you don't even do the effort. You don't put the work.
