You can't change most things, but you don't need to. Start making effort to make your life better on a daily basis. Little efforts over a sustained period of time will turn into serious results.
Problem is to often people want instant results. You don't go from a couch potato to running a marathon without first taking your first walk. Then a longer walk, then a walk run, and so forth. Each day you have activity to build up to that goal and it takes an extended period of time and a real commitment.
This is the same with anything worth having in life. Consistent effort to reach a desired goal.
Exactly! "instant results" is a serious problem with people's mentality these days.
Like you said, things take serious commitment.
Society has moved toward thinking everything is an emergency and should be resolved now! Sure a big part of it is that so much is at our fingertips. My kids want to know how big Norway's population is while we were watching the olympics..."OK Google, what is the population of Norway" and instantly they know.

Want to watch TV, you probably recorded it and didn't even have to care when it actually aired. No thought about changing your day around to see your favorite show season opener...just dvr it.
Our brains are being conditioned towards thinking everything should happen when we want without much effort. It's not the way the real world works...not the part of our lives that leads toward success, love, happiness, health, and wealth.
Scary sometimes thinking how future generations will see things as they have access to more and more things instantly.
