People these days are so quick to jump on the disorder train. It sure gives Chantal an excuse to fail, doesn’t it?
The reality is that Chantal never had to do anything in her life. There have always been people who would jump in and save her ass. Never has she been in a sink or swim type of situation.
I believe she was (and possibly is) supported by her family. Now imagine if no one ever gave her any money. She’d have no choice but to find work or starve to death in the streets. She’d have to take any job available, not just the ones she deems worthy of her attention. With a 9 to 5 she wouldn’t be able to stuff her gut all day long, so she would undeniably lose some weight. With her newly gained mobility and energy she could, for example, go back to college and eventually get a better job. That’s how you get back on your feet—one step at a time till you gain momentum.
The world is what we make of it. A weak man sees a world of insurmountable struggles, of pain and misery. Ultimately, the solution to Chantal’s problems lie within her. Only through victory over herself can she change. What she needs most is to learn to embrace the struggles, to cherish the challenge of life. The journey doesn’t start with a trendy label or an expensive book or a Netflix documentary binge. The journey starts when the promise of waking up sore and hungry puts a smile on your face, because it’s a promise of a change for the better.
Then again, it’s not quite fashionable these days all this talk of personal responsibility, perseverance, taking control of your life. It’s the era of endless disorders and excuses to stay on the dole all your life.
