Heh, it's just the other day that I said to someone:
"Hmmm, I'm starting to understand why people don't use the approach I'm using -- it's not easy at all! In fact, there's a massive barrier to entry that you must first climb before you even start to get any results, but because so few people are willing to make the climb, it's even more worth it for those who do make the climb."
FYI, the "approach" I'm talking about involves living a life that is consciously aligned with your own sense of purpose and creative self expression, the alternative being getting a 9-5 job and all that other "fun" stuff social conditioning (not to mention practically everyone I speak with) tells me I should do.
Note: 9-5 jobs can be purpose/expression aligned, it's just that the majority of them aren't, hence why they serve as such a good example. Plus, if the 9-5'ers didn't try to push their beliefs on others (read: me!) so often, I probably wouldn't feel a need to call them out as much.
