Oh my… this has began to click recently that my whole journey ‘I’ had made sudorific in one way or another. It was all ‘I’ knew to do, “go hard or go home” even when it is supposed to be easy! 
I think I could teleport back in time to impart this information on ‘myself’ and still it would go in one ear and come out the other.
How could allowing ‘myself’ to feel good each moment again for the rest of ‘my’ life be hard or sudorific? What silliness haha.
‘I’ was on a very serious mission to slay dragons and complete all sorts of very sudorific quests because that was all ‘I’ knew to do.
It’s interesting that the actualism method can seem so difficult and yet isn’t living in the real world so very difficult? The suffering that each denizen of the real world manages to get through daily is legendary, it really is impressive. How could removing that boulder off one’s back and simply enjoying and appreciating be hard in comparison?
And I can see now that each human being has the capacity to succeed with the method, because what they get through on the daily is already way harder. The success with the method comes from locating and walking down the path which delivers the goods, not in being even more sudorific. Richard succeeded and was exceptional because of his ability to locate this unknown/unwalked path and being naive enough to proceed down it unilaterally.
It really is like all of ‘humanity’ is walking down this straight and narrow path. It is a very difficult and painful path and yet they trudge on, day in day out. Someone eventually discovers this other path, an unmarked and unwalked path of freedom and gaiety. Of course they plant a flag and wave down to their fellow human beings, inviting them to join where it is all so easy. And yet something compels everyone to put that boulder right back onto the shoulders and continue on the straight and narrow, labelling the other way as “too dangerous”, “too difficult” etc. Perhaps to the denizens of the real world who are so conditioned to daily suffering it seems like the path of freedom and gaiety could not work specifically because it is too easy, therefore it is not worth investing one’s time in (apparently). It is a self-imposed suffering after-all, yet it is completely unnecessary.
