What a load of "I'm 14 and this is deep" material. It's 2020 and people still preach this Jerry Seinfeld/The Secret stuff. Who here doesn't want money? Or a satisfying career? It's not just a dopamine hit from instagram that makes you waste time there, it's that people are emotional being with far more complex motivations (or lake thereof) than just "not wanting it bad enough." Have you considered the possibility that perhaps people are intimidated by the fear of failure, of feeling they are not deserving or good enough, and hence are afraid to attempt it? Have you considered that they are probably lying to you and themselves because of other fundamental fears they don't want to confront? Have you considered that these reasons can also often be attributed to systemic discrimination, both real and emotional both deliberate and unintentonal, due to race/gender/class? If you're right, no one browsing instagram should be unhappy since they're doing what they truly want. If you posit that they're just not reconciling their true wants correctly, and that's why theyre still slightly thirsty for other goals, why won't that be an explanation for the other alternative: people have logical wants that are stymied by emotional blocks (fear, lack of overall motivation, etc). I suppose by extension poor people just don't want to not be poor bad enough, or homeless people don't want to be not homeless enough? The thought process you have probably works for some people who can fully divorce their emotions from their goals, and glad it works for you if it does. For the vast majority, such atttiudes are nothing more than a bunch of dopamine-hit-filled "motivational" Ted talks which they can never apply in their own life.
