This man literally just chose one random day not to eat meat anymore. Has been Vegetarian for years now on ethical reasons (which is the only logical reason to give up meat in my opinion). Gives 33% of his income to Charity, a nonprofit he created himself. Lived out of a van, by choice, for years while writing books and doing talks around the country to inspire others. Has Aspergers, and has mastered the art of public speaking. Is the only living human being to Free-Solo El Capitan or the like. Which is 1,000 meters, and did it in less than 4 hours. Later that same day he went hang-gliding. Meanwhile, I struggle to get out of bed somedays. Really gives you a contrast of people in this world. I'm just glad there are people like him out there that inspire people like me to continue getting out of bed everyday.

@@MrElpajita That can't be one's priority in life because there is no end to materialistic needs, by definition it means an excessive need of possessions which means at no point in that person's life would there be a a sense of self-worth or accomplishment as they never would have satisfied themselves to the point of being done or successful. This also means to achieve that materialistic need that person will be working and feeling miserable everyday about it as their priority is not to live their life happy but to live a life to keep possessing things as much as they can, a never ending cycle.
